THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD! |
The FADA Radio and Electric Company was formed around 1933 in Long Island, New York by Frank D'Andrea. There is some confusion because at about the same time, the Andrea Radio Corporation existed as well, and that FADA was purchased by Jacob Marks and later went bankrupt. It appears that D'Andrea renamed his company FADA at that time. The 358 is a six-tube, two-band (BC,SW) AC/DC radio. The Fada "glo-dial" has a raised shield with indirect lighting. The knob on the right-hand side changes the lighted station indicator. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked, replacing where necessary. A new power cord and safety fuse were added. This radio will not support an external audio cable. Gary stripped the Walnut with Birch veneer accents cabinet and ended up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The original chassis, speaker, and knobs are with the radio. A new crystal-clear dial cover by Mark Palmquist was installed. This is a one-of-a-kind radio and is complete and ready to play. The price is right on this beautiful unique set. Make it yours! 15-1/2"W x 9-1/2"H x 9"D. |
