Excellent, working, Paragon RB-2 regenerative radio with a set of good emissions brass base, tipped 01A tubes.
Panel is clean, with no cracks, no scratches, no chips, no filled holes or other issues. Dials and knobs are in good shape, with crisp numbering and hash marks. All controls operate smoothly.
Chassis components are all in very good condition, and both of the original Paragon AF transformers are still present (both transformers are good). Tuning components are in good condition, and the wire is still tightly wound around all the forms. Chassis wiring is original throughout and in excellent condition.
The cabinet is in good condition, and the cabinet finish is original. There are scattered marks on all sides consistent with age and authenticity.
Tubes are good, with working emissions.
Binding post nuts are original, rheostats are original, and the little paper tags that let you select rheostat resistance based on tube type are also original.
A fine, working example of an uncommon early radio. Operation requires a regulated DC power supply, a good indoor ground connection (not household wiring), and a longwire outdoor antenna.
