Did you ever have one?

Absolutely. Growing up we had a crystal radio and a huge piece of furniture that was a tube AM radio and a record player. No TV. I don't remember much about the crystal radio beyond it being off limits and resided in my parents bedroom.

I don't remember a radio, but my first scanner used crystals and you would go to the local radio shack to buy the crystals for the local police, fire, etc. Looked something like this

Mine was made mostly of wood.
HTF was there an earphone?
I got a transistor radio soon after buf the crystal radio... Wood plus a rock equaled music.

I had a crystal chip scanner as well. Only eight crystal sockets and was 12v DC so it was mounted in my old Olds.

I think mine was wither 8 or 10 channels with the orange lights that lit up when that channel was being scanned. The lights doubles as toggles to turn on or off scanning on that frequency.

Still have a crystal receiver/scanner that used to pick up fire, police and ambulance, marine calls. Each crystal was designated for the separate air ways.
