Re: "The Works" Crystal Radio
No, there's no resistor in parallel with the earpiece. And no capacitor in the tuned circuit. I guess it relies on the stray capacitance between the aerial and earth.
The only components are the adjustable tuning coil (which you wind yourseld on a cardboard tube then sand off the enamel to provide a contact point for the adjustable tap thing), a diode, and the crystal earphone.
