Absolutely outstanding example of a Fada 790 from 1949, restored (we believe) twenty years ago. I have not turned it on to determine whether it works; if it was not restored as we believe then turning it on could damage the radio. Part of the schematic is still affixed to the bottom. If we have one, I’ll include it; if not they are available on-line. It is rare to find one in this condition! Fada Radio & Electric Co.
