This is a Modern Radio Laboratories® No. 1 crystal set. Or is it?
I'm sorry for any comments that were lost, but I had to re-post this because Paul L. Nelson, the current owner of Modern Radio Laboratories®, wrote to me stating he'd try to have this video pulled down because I forgot to put the little "®" symbol next to the words "Modern Radio Laboratories."
So, for the record, Modern Radio Laboratories® is a trademark of Modern Radio Laboratories®, which is now owned by Paul L. Nelson.

Thanks for the video! I'm slowly making my own parts to make a Number 2 Crystal Radio. Somehow I fell into the MRL ® rabbit hole and am amazed at all of Elmer and Mabels's work at their Modern Radio Laboratories® : he made so much, and sold it so cheap. And he was selling stuff like this.. up until his death in 1987.

I have an MRL2 built by Elmer himself. It's very selective on locals. It brings in good DX stations 300 -Miles away in the winter. When I was a kid, I could here Europe on shortwave. 69 meter band in the winter. A great set.

That is amazingly good selectivity and reception for a cat's whisker radio circuit

Nice radio. Curious how it compares to the Number 2 Crystal Radio Set? Does it do SW, or just BC band. The current owner of MRL seems a bit over the top if he was going to have the old video pulled just for the sake of the "R in circle" symbol. Heck, I cannot even insert the symbol here in the comments. That is bloody crazy. Could he not have respectfully asked you to add it first?

LOL, I've been going back and forth with Paul Nelson for years. Every time I post something about MRL I get an email saying I'm breaking the law, and I don't even know what he's talking about. In this case, he told me it wasn't even an MRL #1, because I built it, not him. So it's some sort of copy or recreation, but my take on it is that if I build it according to the plans, it's an MRL #1. It says "MRL #1" at the top of the plans, so what else would it be? As for how it works, I think the No.2 works better. You can see the layout is the same, but the circuits are completely different. One of the controls on the No.1 is a wave trap to eliminate interfering stations, which works great. I was able to pick up some SW at night on the No.1.

@@michaelsimpson5417 Do you know where you can get #22 or #24 DCC wire? That has been one of the banes of making a good looking set like these.

@michaelsimpson5417 Месяц назад

@@va3ngc The only source I know of is to keep watching ebay. I think the "D" in "DCC" means Double Cotton Covered, but mine only has one layer of cloth.
