Morzh, you can go to the Radio Museum website, input the manufacturer and tubes and it will tell you every model they made with that setup. From there, you can narrow it down by number of bands, etc. Sometimes there is a photo too. I've found that 20% of the time it doesn't work. As Arran said, it's not the best site. And like Brenda found, Fada used this setup on a lot of radios.

Anyways, that's why I mentioned the tubes... tubes, a photo and bands are the only real clues I could give to anyone hoping to help me find out the model. I was really hoping the ballast tube would ring a bell, but it didn't. I googled images of Fada radios for about an hour, searched every photo of Fadas I could find at several sites and nothing matches up.

Mafiaman suggested a guy on YouTube that specializes in Fada radios. I plan to email him and see if he knows anything.
