Last night EQDSO broke yet another set of earphones and today I will
mostly be putting them back together again. (I keep a small stock of
replacement bits for this purpose.) But you helped me put it into
perspective. If the worst thing I have to complain about is
repetitive headphone destruction then I am a pretty lucky chap.

Get some 1920s headphones and no-one'll ever break them again.

Where will you get a crystal set to use them with?

I reckon I could probably McGuyver one with what I have around me if
ICBA.

There's a bit of quartz in a tin of old stones collected from the beach;
aluminium baking foil and some glass photographic slides; lots of odd
bits of wire I could un-strand and coil around a nail and a loooong run
of cable already going to the roof.

Mind you, my first crystal set had the luxury of a germanium diode so I
have never actually faffed around with a cat's whisker.

Think you might be betterer with Galena rather than quartz
