Crystal Bullet Proof Cube Radio
With sooo many wonderful features to ponder with this radio it is difficult to
know where to start. Bullet proof. That 1/2 inch thick clear plastic material is the well
known 'Bullet Proof Glass'. Framing the top and front, it is bound on each side with 3/4 inch
Padouk with the base the same.
The schematic is one of Dave but I can not recall which one....there are
soooo many to choose from. Therefore, the balance of this description rests with the components.
The HoneyComb coil is wound with 165/46 litz wire
and is mounted 2 inches
above the wood base on 3/16 inch threaded styrene. That gorgeous big old knob destroyed
my budget but certainly earns it's place on this set. Behind it is a totally refurbished
Pilot variable capacitor which photos cannot provide justice for.
This is another 'operators-choice' radio in that one may select a germanium crystal
diode as detection or an Argentiferous galena crystal from
Scott's Crystal Radios.
This is by far the most sensitive galena I have ever encountered and recommend
it highly. Nothing less for Bullet Proof performance!
This prized galena specimen is mounted in one of my 'Enclosed Style' detector stands
which also wins a spot on this very special set. Selection of the two detectors
is made with the knife switch mounted up top, front and center.
Antenna/ground connection binding posts are behind the detector stand
and the phone jack is mounted below the tuning dial....and what a tuning dial
it is! This level of quality tilts the scale at
(see pricelist)....have you priced Bullet
Proof Glass lately?
Order: #X-55
