    Relive your youth, and introduce the youth of today, to the fun and excitement of building a crystal radio!
    This reproduction kit is based on the classic Heathkit CR-1 crystal radio, built by many people.
    So far, ALL the comments from buyers have been it is a great performing radio!  Below are unsolicited feedback and messages.
    "This is a great crystal radio kit. If you can get one of these you should. I’m an electrical engineer and I know the parts are quality. For a crystal radio, this can’t be better. It has an antenna tuned circuit and the detector tuned circuit too. I’ve had so much fun building this kit and hooking it up to a 50 foot antenna. It pulls in many stations."
    "Really loud on 3 stations. ... this radio outshines all my other crystal radio receivers."
    "Built the kit today works fantastic. Able to get over 10 stations at night!"
    "Very nice kit, and works very well!"
    "Very nice looking front. Crystal set works well with good antenna."
    "This is a great little radio! Worked on the first try. "
