Hi,
Here are old style crystal sets, built during 2011. All with components of recovery : bakelite, wood, brass, wires, etc.
Sincerely,

Very nice! I personally like to see sets like yours as they are a work of art.

I agree. I've never seen such a unique fox hole receiver! The others are also very nice, with French style detectors, of course!

Hi Kenn,
Yes works great, but aerial 100 feet.
The nickname of set is "CAMEMBERT" (a very famous Normandy cheese.)

MW,

Here they are! lovely sets all. I have been hankering for some time to fabricate those french-style cat's whiskers, yours are lovely. I have been stewing for some time on a project to make a breadboard reproduction of a Jacquemard set but the cat's whisker seems to hold me back.

You are certainly a master craftsman, beautiful works of art! Je les aime bien!

Kevin

breadboarded:
I made a prety good copy of the French design using the pieces from a mechanic's inspection mirror.
Nice little swivel junction and the chrome plated tin frame does not appear to be lossy.

Perfect name! if your next 'round' crystal radio has a smoother sound, you can call it BRIE. :wink:
