Robert Todd Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 I had this little K & D switch that would have looked good with one of those motors but I sold it many years ago. 2 Quote
Thomas Peters Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 That “switch” looks like a detector for an early crystal radio. That radio piece in the middle would be a chunk of galena/lead crystal. There would be a thin wire called a, cat whisker, on the underneath side of that lever. Then that lever is moved acros that galena to find greatest sensitivity. Quote
