In my Crosley Pup, I use a UV-199, with the adapter to WD12 basing. Outstanding performance, and almost mint condition. BTW, I have an extra UV-199/WD-12 adapter FS. These adapters erre made in the 1920s. Also, the way I was taught to remember which was the UV or UX, the pins are either (V)ery short or (X)tra long. I use the UV-199 since it is so much cheaper, and I only have 2 WD-12s.

WOW! How wonderful your radio is still in use today. I'm sure your Aunt enjoys listening to here radio programs. Yes, transistors are much more reliable and long lasting. I was a little younger than 13 when I got my first Crystal Set. Of course I enjoyed listening to the radio late at night and it was surprising how many long distant station I could pull in. I also discovered that I could jam my older brother's radio with my crystal set, and would do so until threaten with bodily harm. Rick

Indeed, you are right. My very first radio was bought to me when I was 13 years. It was a transistor table top model. It was OM, OT (tropical wave) and OC. No FM. It runing well in my 82 years old aunt´s house nowadays. It was produced in Brazil and the Brand is Vozzo.
Transistor radios are really long lasting and trouble free aren´t they? But the tubes are so elegant. I don´t know if the sound better since I have never seen a vaccuum tube radio "life". Best regards, Mario.

Crystal sets are fun. I don't remember how many I built and experimented with but it was a lot of them. When you get a chance, read the text on the back cover of my book, my brother wrote the text. You'll like it.

I love the crystal sets as well, problem is, I can't hear them, I'm 60% deaf, have to wear hearing aids, but before I lost my hearing I loved to build and experiment with them (well I can always get an amplifier)

It is a fun, child's radio. It is difficult to use and the performance is better than a crystal set. It's another nice piece of radio history.

I thought, from what I'd read, that this was intended as more of an "affordable" radio than specifically a child's one?
