A Chance Crystal Radio Project

A vintage unmarked inductor/transformer had been lying neglected in my junkbox for decades and I had to resurrect it.
Resistance checks showed that 2 windings, with a tap each, are terminated in its 6 pins. One measured 70 Ω with a 5 Ω tap and the other less than 1 Ω. A threaded core, with a movement of 5 mm is situated at the top of the unit.
The 70 Ω winding appeared to be suitable for a crystal radio. It was wired up as per the schematic shown below.

Hello Nandu,
how simple it can be! Like going back to my childhood building with a minimum of components a simple receiver. People will be surprised hearing a radio station with a unpowered 'thing' with a connected wire and headphone....

Many thanks.
