WW II Crystal radio - army surplus
May years ago my father gave me a small army surplus radio that was a
little over 3" long and about 5/8" square and it had a small rod protruding from one end and a wire attached to an earplug from the other end. It was an AM radio crystal set and I spent many hours listening to the AM programs at night in my bed. One "tuned" stations by moving the rod in and out. Does anyone remember these and is it possible to find one now? |
