Crystal Radio Demonstration

- Опубліковано 13 вер 2024
- Using vintage parts including four switchable crystal detectors, have received AM broadcasts from Canada, Cuba and Radio Prague in addition to stations across the country from here in Pennsylvania using a 125' longwire antenna. I used cocobolo wood for the frontpiece, and a piece of quilted maple for the base. Lots of fun & frustration putting it all together.
Amazing build... Any vintage radio enthusiast would gladly trade his flat screen for this! Thankyou so much for sharing!
Beautifully done . 👍
That is a very impressive crystal radio and it's old style vintage parts used I have tried making a crystal radio in the past but I wasn't very successful and I only picked up one station I brought the kit from Maplins and I followed all of the instructions correctly and it was a disaster so I might make a homemade version in the future because I'm a radio amateur and I've been interested in radio since I was 14 years old and I have spoken all over the world back on the CB 11 meters and I have got over 2500 QSL cards to confirm all the contacts I made and I have spoken to thousands of radio amateurs through the 21 years I've been licensed and it's all been really good fun. Thanks and best 73's Stephen M3SNV 73's.
A real work of art. Your workmanship is outstanding!
Excellent radio receiver. Such radio has special, unique charm!!!
That is an absolute masterpiece. Blew me away thanks!
I've never seen a more beautiful crystal radio! Thanks for making this video. :)
Beautiful built "open" electric equipment. Nice to see all those components and traces, good finishing with paint and coppers. Radio is not for me, I am deaf, but I do like it.
2:53 signal comes in exactly at

Also, beautiful work. It really says something for what all those signals may be doing to our minds if they power a radio interacting with crystals; that are also in our pineal glands so the signals surely interfere with our ability to tap into each others minds
Весьма занятный аппарат! Рад, что ещё остались помешанные - значит не один я такой.
Very impressive craftsmanship!
Beautiful! That piece looks museum quality. Thanks for sharing!
Stunning quality build, a joy to watch & hear. 73 Phil G0BVD UK
No toilet paper rolls here. Wow!! Nice build, very impressed. This the crystal radio of my dreams.
Checkout my BOY'S SCOUT RADIO, it is really retro
Gorgeous awesome
What a great looking radio,so well made that thing should pick up the moon.
That is pretty rad sounding music coming from an AM radio station
It would be great if there was a radio station transmitting period music etc !
Beautifully designed!
Work of art
Beautiful.
that is awesome
very amusing man, that's some real stuff you got there
Museum quality. A real work of art.
I bought this radio about 4 months ago on eBay. It has had quite a bit of additional work which enhanced the project. This is the center piece of my collection. I also build crystal radios.
@@mtkoslowski Congratulations. It's a real beauty. I also make crystal radio's as well as collect commercially made one's. Philmore comprise most of my collection, although I have a "Rocket Radio", Olson, and Planatair.
@@mtkoslowski Congratulations! I've admired this radio for years and I can't imagine one any nicer. Would it be possible to get a drawing that shows the wire connections that were made between all of the the radio's components? I've tried to reconstruct the connections and to I.D. all of the components used a few times by reviewing this video without success. And I have located a nice tapped coil identical to the one used in your radio. I probably have enough high quality 1920's components on-hand to make a really nice radio. I'm a novice at all of this but I still enjoy tinkering and learning. A simple hand drawn representation of the connections would be a great help and I'd be willing to compensate you for your effort. Enjoy your amazing radio!
Amazing! Great job.
I expected classical music and updates about the Great War coming out of it.
Comercial AM Broadcasting didn't exist before 1920
Awesome! Only 1 video? I have an idea for you. Next time you find a station- Jump to the other detectors for us?! I know many of us would love that! I may even download your video for my archives! -take care
Clutch! "pretty cool!" I would say so! This is a beautiful piece of work with the wood work and the 20s style of build! Does the coil allow more frequencies into the short wave spectrum?
Absolutely awesome. I dont know why people have overlooked this technology. I want to build a tiny, tiny, tiny, version, and atempt to powr a speaker off of the tsame technology.
I hope could listen another stations
Very nice !
that radio came with cristobal colon
I built a crystal radio when I was a kid. Of course not as classically beautiful as this one. But it could be used. I could heard only local radio station.
Looks good. could you please post. Plans and list of parts and were you got them from.
Thanks .
Absolutely inspiring. These past weeks I've been making crystal radios so I searched and found your video. How did you fashion the taps on that coil? It looks great but what was the method used? My creations look childish next to yours. I thought I was doing well when I got a pre-routed board from the hobby store and shellacked it.
Very nice work. Those parts must have been difficult to find. What type of wiring is being used?
I am very impresed! 1st class job.
Very complex. I like it. How long did it take you to create this? How did you do it? Do you have a site or something for all of us to see so we can create something like that? LOVE IT!!
that is a nice Radio varey well made thumbs up dude
Can we get an indepth look at how this is assembled and what parts you used? I'd love to replicate this as a winter project.
That Fada detector is the DeForest D-101 Dustless Detector.
Sintonia complicada, mas este receptor é um belo modelo.
This is way old but what is the rating for your vairable tuning capasitors?
I don't care what a varicoupler does, but i want to use it in my next project.
Definitely need a schematic for this one.
Oow? too bad.
I thought you were going to switch too !?
I thought you're going to show the difference between the diodens also?
Greetings from the Netherlands!

Maar genieten heb je wel van het zien, de werking van alle componenten missen we nog inderdaad.
it's probably the esiest radio there is. NO batteries required!

Schematic?
probably more of a "crystalline structure" as far as our psychic receptors go, if anything. idk. but i still think the net of broadcast signals can serve as a thought suppressor or director. the majority of media that's broadcast is garbage anyway, and that's the real threat.
Learn how to focus your camera and find another damned station.
Beautiful.
