*The Gecophone Junior has an unusual lever designed for swift
househusbandrywith regards attention to the detector or cat's whisker,
so replacing this vibrant and transparent tube cover would be very simple.
*There is also a good chance this will also fit the Gecophone No.1 Type BC1002,
the scarcer variation with enclosed glass-covered detector so, if you're looking
for a replacement this model, you'd be advised to check the dimensions of the
retaining brackets on YOUR Gecophone No.1 Type BC1002 crystal receiver.
MAKE THAT FAVOURITE 1920s WIRELESS PERFECT!
The quality of the British crystal radio during the 1920s was the best in the world,
and the UK Government's edict that ALL radio manufacturers, however small,
must register and licence their product with the British Postmaster General,
and in turn allocated a (PMG Approved) number, means that British wireless
crystal receivers are the most sought-after technology collectable - anywhere!
