    First attempt to market a regenerative version. It was produced by Tresco in December 1922. Already in January 1923 Crosley bought "Precision Instrument Equipment" (ACE) to get the Armstrong license. Consequently the receivers were then sold under the ACE label which made the label Harko obsolete.
    Technically this would be called the Crosley Model V-B with regular new style Adam brown mahogany cabinet, regenerative, panel marked (or die stamped letters) and sold for $17 USD in the winter of 1922. This Model V-B was also sold without regeneration for $15 USD. This info is available in the Crosley catalog page picture uploaded.
