"CRYSTAL RADIOS AND SPARK GAP TRANSMITTERS"
"Built to order by, AIRWAVE EXPLORER LABS"
These are a sample of some of the Crystal Radios I build. My Father and Uncle had a shop in Jackson, Michigan from 1919 until 1929. They designed and built custom Crystal Radios to sell. I am attempting to relive those Golden Times & Days of Radio by following in their footsteps. I have been a Ham Radio Operator for almost 60 years now. This has given me the
experience to handbuild these radios. I am trying to follow the schematics and designs my Father used. I use as many vintage parts as I can. I try to always use old tongue and groove, box joint, finger joint and dove tail boxes. I test and "Pot" my own
crystals. I can build you a radio per your specifications or mine. Using your box or mine. So light up that old oil lamp, put on your headphones and lets travel back in time to the Golden Age of Radio. PLACE CURSOR ON PICTURE FOR MORE
