Crystal set, "TheRooco"manufactured by the J.R. Wireless Company, dating to about 1924. An excellent example of the variety of design found in such simple early domestic wireless broadcast radioreceivers.

Walnut cabinet,measures approx.7x 5 x6 inches. The condition of this set isgood - see photos.Features a cats whisker crystal detector.Nickel-plated brassfittings.Slider on coil type tuning. Socket with a shorting link for the addition of a loading coil to extend wavelength.

Looks to be all original andcomplete, but itis untested and is therefore sold as a "collector's display item" with no guarantee of working condition.

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