Hello All ,
New member here, just acquired a Fada 175 at a flea market, looks very clean, missing a couple tubes, so took a chance for $10.
I am an FCC licensed electronics tech by trade, i remember that first FCC test, it was all tube theory !!
which of course they no longer taught at college in 1975,
enough background,
i have already located a schematic from Wm Bunting site, however this does not show tube #'s
My unit has 5 tube sockets and i am missing 3 tubes, i do have 2- CX-301A tubes, but will probably order a full compliment of new tubes,
interestingly there are 3 lead tube caps ? maybe common for the era ?
so i guess my first challenge is finding tubes and building a power supply or battery bank
Wish me luck
RG
