Do you know the year it was made ?? There are a lot of these in online searches !! But to get a value of any kind you need the year made !!

I know it didn`t have yours !!  I looked !! Thought it  might give you an idea about your radio !!  There are quite a few on ebay but the ones getting bids are the bullet styles and bakelite models !! Thats why it helps if we can see yours !! We can see the style and material it was made of !!  Many on ebay were pretty pricey but keep in mind that asking price and what they actually sell for are two different things !! The ones that had bids were a little over $200. currently !!  I would say that yours if it has a bakelite case would be about the same !!  If its a wood case somewhere between $100. and $200. is likely !!

From what I find, the Fada model 899 was a TV from 1947.
