Fada 450W
1938
Bands: AM, SW
Tube Lineup: 6D6, 6C6, 25L6, 25Z5
The walnut bakelite Fada 450W radio is encased in an attractive art-deco cabinet that is the same as the model 350 series including the 350V and 350B with the key difference being the brass dial in place of the tuning knob on the 350 and the addition of a red power indicator above the dial. The cabinet is patterned after the successful Silvertone 4500 series that were first released a couple years prior.
The Fada 450 is rare and fairly hard to come across. There is a 450V (Ivory Plaskon) that I have seen once and probably other colors such as black and red.
