Oh wow! what nostalgia! I did this as a kid, based on instructions from a nineteen-thirty-something book for the "radio experimenter". I made the mistake of believing that my local radio store could supply a galena crystal. You should have seen the owner's reaction. I finally did get it from a friendly chemical supply house. Anyhow, I'll never forget the rush when the damn thing worked. I was high for a week. I can't wait 'til my kid is old enough to be given the same book. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce Taylor Intermetrics uunet!inmet!bruce -------------------------------------------------------------------
