[NJARC] Aeriola Jr. Restoration

[Al Klase]

Gang,

I find myself working on an Aeriola Jr. that belongs to the Museum.  I 
have some pretty specific questions.

What headset was originally supplied with these?  My references say 
Brandes, but which ones?  Does anyone know for sure?

The detector minerals were completely AWOL.  Again, Web references say 
it used a Perikon detector, and suggest Zincite and Bornite.  However, 
there are other possibilities.  Can someone take a look at an original 
set and report?  See Wikipedia for pix of the minerals:

I've made an initial repair with zincite and bornite, and I must say the 
set works pretty well here where signals are strong.  Perikon detectors, 
while not as sensitive as galena and a catswhisker, are a whole lot more 
user friendly, being pretty much set and forget.

BTW, there's a picture of a Perikon detectot from Marv's collection 
here:  http://www.skywaves.ar88.net/2det/twodet.htm


Thanks,
Al
