- Notes
-
This Adams Morgan Paragon Crystal Set is a possible "fake" reproduction radio. Another example is shown in Crystal Clear Vol II on page 68. These sets used a Kilbourne & Clark crystal detectors which was not very likely from a company that made their own crystal detectors. Both examples appear to have the same serial Number 413!
The terminals are different, the large knob as well (center screw flush, not in a recess).
The panel rim is considerable narrower, and the lock is different, too.
