Here’s some information about it: It uses a crystal (a semiconductor) to detect radio signals. A cat whisker diode on the inside as shown in photos is used to fine tune radio waves. A simple diagram of a crystal radio is shown in above photos. To aincrease volume one would need to make a simple outside antenna. This is a straight wire strung between 2 points and insulated at both ends. See internet for details.
Up for sale is an early 50′s Packard Bell 602 Tube Radio. I recapped and aligned this set some years back. I think I also had to replace the speaker. I tested the set and it is indeed working as it should, although the volume control is a bit scratchy so it likely needs some cleaner. I’m just getting rid of this guy as I have too many sets that are just sitting around. It’s time for him to go to a new home. The cabinet could be in a little better shape, some scuffs and scratches, but if you know how to refinish them then this should be a fun one. The knobs have some white stuff on them, not sure what it is, but it’s due to the type of plastic used, I cleaned them a while ago but it just came back, so they’ll need to be cleaned again. Oh, the Packard Bell emblem is also missing the letters’ell’. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I’m open to offers too, so don’t hesitate to send one.

Beautiful brown swirl bakelite Minerva six tube radio in playing condition. There are no cracks or breaks and the dial and cord are good I think all the tubes are Philco brand.
Picked this up from an estate liquidation. Turns on and works. I only tested the FM stations. See video for sound. No idea when the tubes were put in or how much shelf life they have left. Happy to answer any questions you may have.
