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.
