Crystal Radios For Sale!


"Sold!
#76

My #76 crystal receiver is a double tuned, band-pass circuit built with premium parts. From the dual toroidal coils wound with 165/46 litz wire all the way to my custom designed Überformer, this is as good as it gets. I'll bet you can almost feel the silk smooth tuning at the end of those dual inline vernier drives. I can. :) Just gently rock the dial until the station comes in the best.

My crystal and tube projects are for sale! Why? Well, because people keep asking me and I am running out of room to put them! Please understand the following: These sets are homemade, therefore they are not physically perfect nor electronically perfect. The all do receive stations. A wire antenna at least 75 feet is required and a good ground. Good high impedance headphones or a crystal earphone is also a must, although you could also connect these to an audio amplifier. Also be aware that I have been fine tuning these sets and have not updated the pictures. If you ask, I will gladly send you a fresh picture of the set that you are interested in purchasing.

Also, sometimes the parts values will differ somewhat from the diagrams. I put in what I have when I feel that there is no compromise in looks or performance. I put the most "standardized" parts on the diagrams as you would likely find them.

These radios do look nice setting in a living room or den, or where ever your spouse lets you keep your treasures. That was my idea when I built these sets. It is fun to listen to them, especially at night.

Shipping is extra. If you need to know how much that would be, send me your zip code, and I will give you a quote.

All these sets are sold as-is. Please take your time and ask questions. I will gladly reserve a set for three days to give you time to decide. All sales are low pressure (or actually no pressure).

I will accept money orders, and checks as payment. Other options are available. You can pay me cash if you do it in person, but no cash in the mail please. If you are interested, or even if you just want to talk about crystal sets, Please e-mail me .
