I remember my great grandfather telling me about crystal radios and how they were the first radios they had back in the 20's. Chuck has a really nice collection. Thanks for sharing Rick!
Thanks Yes Chuck has been collecting for many years. He also studies the history of the radios. He does good work. Many year ago an Aunt telling me able there Crystal Radio. They would put the headphones in a large glass bowl so that everyone could hear the radio.
Hello! Hope you’ve been doing well my friend. When I first started regularly watching UA-cam I found you and watched you often then. My interests change and flow, yet I’ve always kept you on my follow list, because I value you and your knowledge, very much. Thanks for another video, Chuk
I recall way back in the early 70's when the family went to Florida for vacation. I brought back with me a collection of rocks that were glued to a sheet of cardboard. One of the rocks was quartz crystal. So I decided to use it to create a crystal radio. It became the diode. The rest was your usual wire, wrapped around a toilet roll cardboard, and the headphones were composed of what was left of some old discarded telephone handsets. Worked perfectly. You could select channels by either moving the pickup point on the wire coil, or by moving the wire poke point on the quartz crystal.
@@AllAmericanFiveRadio No go. But I still do have my 1986 Heathkit HERO 2000 robot. The robot is still up and going. Back then in 1986, the Kit price was $3,000.
I used to build crystal radio kits as a kid. The only ones I could really get to work were the science fair ones from radio shack. Its hard for me to hear them though being hearing impaired. Chuck has an amazing collection!
Thanks! I used my crystal set to jam my older brother's radio. En-tell threaten with bodily harm. Yes Chuck does have an amazing collection. He is always looking too.

WOW! You pack an hours worth of material into under six minutes. Great collection! "Mr Carlson's Lab" has one of those RCAs that he does a full restoration on.
It would be nice to do a band scan with that crystal radio and see what you'd hear. Hopefully not just electric fence! I made on from a 60 in one kit as a kid and it worked pretty well. Thanks for sharing! 😎❤️👍
Hi .. thank you for the video... tried to find a radio station on a crystal radio made like the schematic, but heard only noise .....I might have to try and use a longer antenna (by night) :-)) ...or try to make a simple DIY radio for FM....rgds Kim

@@AllAmericanFiveRadio Hi, sorry that I can't show you my regenerative one transistor FM radio receiver working:-)). in order to hear the stations I used your two stage amplifier (not 2N2222) but with BC547 and added one BD139 and 100R to the BD139 collector... output sufficient to hear music and voices by use of a 16R cone tweeter...would like to have a little stronger amplifier..10-12V !.. a funny tiny radio.. ...very sensitive high frequence circuit...takes a lot of patience and intuition best rgds Kim
Hello sir? would you or chuck, know how to make a wiper with a dial tuning knob for the Crystal Radio, I seen one on youtube bat i can't find the video now The coil was this one is but to move the wiper the guy just turn the knob on the face of the box it was in.
That grandfather clock radio was amazing 🤩. Thanks
That is really nice.
That is a very interesting collection. Thanks for sharing.

I saw a Heathkit CR-1 crystal radio / headphones at the TRW swap meet years ago
Thanks
Heathkit CR-1 crystal radio are hard to find.

I'm not sure. I'll look for some information and get back to you. This will be interesting and may make a good video. Thanks.
