Earphone radio 1968 007

Earphone radio 1968 007
A pocket personal portable AM (no FM at that time) radio which I built in a 36 exp slide box at the start of the 68/69 Christmas school holidays. It was originally built breadboard style with a valve-style tuning capacitor. The circuit has three transistors. The signal path flows from the ferrite rod to the first transistor for RF amplification with regeneration. A diode demodulates the signal which is sent back to the first transistor reflexed as the first AF stage. Two more transistors cascaded give more AF gain. A high impedance crystal earpiece couples the audio to the Listener. Performance was adequate for primary coverage areas. See Notes on 005.
