Frank Andrea left FADA by the early 40s (don't know exactly when) and then started Andrea. No connections between the two after that, that I know of. The FADA TV sets I've seen were on the cheaper side, while the Andrea's tended to be more expensive. They had some color sets in the 60s and 70s and were maybe best known for a line of sets with round cabinets (shaped like a table). By the time the set posted here was built the industry had largely moved on from 21" to 23" as the standard in BW consoles. If the original crt is bad, you can often get creative in subbing them for something like this. There, now you know more than I do!
