  • Tubes listed only once by type. Adams-Morgan Paragon RB-2A Battery 3 Tube Radio It was designed by Paul Godley in the summer of 1923. The Paragon RB-2A came out near the end of 1923. The set, although a good receiver, was not very successful. The set had an interesting characteristic: By changing a tap inside the radio you could use for separately every stage a variety of tubes like UV201A, UV199, WD11, WD12, UV200A and the Western Electric 216A. Socket adapter required for WD11 and UV199. That enabled made any possible combination.
