It's unusual construction features all nickel plated hardware and a novel tripod base. This is a classic crystal radio that is well documented on the cover of Crystal Clear (Volume I) and on p.72, Fig. 82.      This crystal radio is original and complete.   The crystal detector is complete with catswhisker and proper crystal - a Galena crystal mounted in lead held by proper set screw in the mineral cup.   All of the correct binding posts are there for attaching Aerial, Ground and Earphones. The binding posts for earphones will accommodate two sets of earphones for group listening.   I have provided seven pictures of this crystal radio to show you the good condition of body, coil, tripod legs and detector. The receiver is functional and I was able to receive four local stations here with just a short antenna.   It stands approx 9” high. The coil body is 2 7/8" diameter  x 3.25” high.   This receiver is in very good condition and displays well. It is a classic set that belongs in every serious collection of early radios.     Buyer pays shipping.
