  • Notes

  • The Chicago Radio Laboratory C.R.L. Paragon Regenerative is a clone of the Adams Morgan RA-6 three circuit variometer tuner.
    In February 1921 the model name was changed to the "Z-Nith" Regenerator after Adams Morgan Company prohibited CRL from using the trademarked name of Paragon.
    In the 1921 "Z-Nith" catalog "Long Distance Radio Apparatus" of "Chicago Radio Laboratory", Bulletin F-21, there is the name Regenerator for it, not to be confused with "Regenerette", also Called C.R.L Reg.

    The Paragon Receiver is listed in the 1920 Chicago Radio Laboratories J-20 catalog on page 6-7. The May 1920 Price List with this catalog listed the price at $55.00.
