The Maxitronix MX-901C Electronic Crystal Radio Kit teaches you how to build a crystal radio in a fun and safe way.

 

The crystal radio was discovered in 1901. It is still the basis of modern-day radio and communications equipment and lives on in a wide variety of radio systems. Go back in time, and learn how radio detection was first done! Without a battery or power supply, you will hear AM broadcasts with your Crystal Radio Set! Crystal radios don't need a power supply - they're powered by the radio station and are endlessly fascinating because of their simplicity and their complexity! They contain so few parts yet display so many concepts. The comprehensive 16 page manual covers everything from how it works, why it works, and illustrated assembly instructions. Assembly is easy with solderless connections, and no previous electronic experience is necessary. Relive history with a Crystal Set today!
