[NJARC] Adams-Morgan Paragon Six

[Al Schapira]

I have acquired what I believe to be an Adams-Morgan Paragon Type Six.
Its a 6-tube TRF. None of the A-M ads I've seen (and I have plenty) nor
the Douglas book show anything like it.
There are no manufactures marks on anything other than on some of the
mica grid-leak capacitors. 

I inspected the tube sockets, knobs, dials, etc... nothing to identify
a manufacturer other than "Paragon Six" on the front panel and
"Paragon" on the meter face.  Pretty rare to see a meter on a set this
old. Don't know whether its for tuning or A-voltage adjustment.

The tuning includes two ganged stages coupled with a string pulley
system -- like a synchrophase. See PICT3185.

Its clear that someone "has been in there" before I got it, as many of
the bus wires are unattached and there are some pencil marks underneath
the tube sockets.  The C-battery (looks like a D-cell) is still there!

Could it be a prototype that A-M never got into production? 

There was no cabinet.  I've never seen a set with curved  metal side
rails before. (See PICT3185 again)

Has anyone got any more info on the A-M Type Six?  Anything would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

  --Al, W2ADS

PS I live in Montclair, NJ where the Adams-Morgan Company was located. 
 That explains my interest in A-M products.
