Fada had a 15GP22 color set?

I guess it's possible that FADA did make a 15G set, but that sure isn't an actual photo of one.

I just noticed how off center the controls are in the picture.

According to Tom Genova's TV History site, Fada produced their last TV receiver in 1956. There is NO listing for a Fada color receiver in the SAMS Photofact index color tv section. Fada may have produced a 15" prototype, many smaller manufacturers did. The airbrushed picture may be just an exercise to enhance the companies' image.

FADA = Frank A.D. Andrea Radio Company branded their pre-war sets "Andrea", then adopted "FADA" postwar. They dropped "Frank A.D." from FADA, and became just "Andrea" again in the 50s. Not sure if they changed hands, or just reinstated their original trademark. It gets confusing, when you think about the RCA trade name timeline; Victor, RCA, RCA-Victor, Brunswick, RCA, GE-RCA, RCA-Thompson, back to just plain RCA, etc etc etc.
