My First and Second Crystal Radio - eHam.net
It had a 1N34 diode, soldered right to the slug-tuned coil that the rod atop the “rocket” would tune, and a high-impedance earphone. Reply to a comment by : VE7ALQ on 2005-08-12 My first crystal radio was store-bought, with a coil in a red and white rocket(!).

From the drawing board of Warren Brune, W5OLY comes this superb HF amplifier. Mine, #462 was built in 1962 and still had the original 4CX-1000 installed. Had a couple easily corrected problems along the way in the form of metering diodes opening up. Replaced these with 1N34's in about 15 minutes and its working just fine.
