 I recently purchased a small collection from a nice lady whose husband is in poor health. Among that was this 1925ish FADA 169B? Hazeltine Neutrodyne TRF receiver. This is a five-tube radio that can drive either headphones or a speaker. For those not familiar with these, this is not your modern Superheterodyne radio. This is a three-dial TRF. The operation is part science, part magic, and part art. There is no HI-FI here. All five 01A tubes test better than new, and according to Radio Electric Supply, are worth more than I am asking for this whole setup. I'm not leaving you with anything else to buy. I have fitted it with a 110v supply, period correct headphones and a speaker. I am even including the FADA assembly and operation manual. I had to strip and refinish the Beckly Ralston cabinet. This will require a substantial external antenna for all but very strong local stations. It is large and heavy, so shipping will be a consideration. This is a very nice example of early AM radio. I'm losing my shirt here, but I want this little sweetie to find a good home. 27"W x 12"H x 10"D. $200.00. (1680157)
