Cat\'s Whisker Galena Crystal Wireless Set Receiver 1924, Marconi-Era
Price: US $291.56

The \"Castle\" crystalwireless set receiver,dating to 1923. An excellent example of the variety of design found in such simple early domestic wireless broadcast radioreceivers.

Tubular case with ebonite top panel,measures approx.3 inches diameter x 5inches. The condition of this set is excellent - see photos.The only defect is a small chip to the edge of the panel - see photos. Features a glass enclosed cats whisker crystal detector.Nickel-plated brassfittings. Variometer type tuning. Socket forprovision of anadditional coil to be plugged to extend tuning range.

Looksoriginal andcomplete, but itis untested and is therefore sold as a \"collector\'s display item\". Comes in the original box- I don\'t think this one ever saw much use, if any.

This set displays exceptionally well. An unusualexample of 1920s radio technology.A classic radio setfrom so-called the \"Marconi\" era at the beginning ofdomestic bbcradio broadcasting.
