The Fada Model #115 website page

The Fada Model #115, also known as The Bullet, is a radio that appears in the Season 3 episode The Radio. Originally given to Chase by his grandfather, Chase deems it useless and sells it to Zoey for five dollars and a free taco coupon. Zoey and the girls later discover that the radio's value is between $10,000 and $12,000. Upon realizing this, Zoey plans to return the radio to Chase but decides to keep it after a misunderstanding leads to an argument between them. The argument escalates as the rest of the gang takes sides: Quinn and Logan believe Zoey should keep the radio, while Lola and Michael think Chase is its rightful owner.

After Chase’s attempt to steal the radio back from Zoey’s dorm room fails, the gang realizes their fighting must end. They decide to settle the argument with a formal debate, with Mark Del Figgalo as the mediator. After hearing both sides, Mark decides the radio rightfully belongs to Zoey. However, feeling guilty, Zoey returns the radio to Chase, and they rekindle their friendship. In the end, Chase’s grandfather takes the radio back for himself upon learning of its value.
