Does anyone have a copy of the book by Robert J Young, titled Crystal Sets 'n" Such ISBN 0 646 21852 2 that they would be willing to part with or know where I could obtain a copy? It appears to be self published quite some time ago, with no contact details for the author. I have my own copy, currently out on loan to an old bloke (like myself) and would dearly like to give him his own copy. Happy to pay any reasonable price plus shipping.

Definitely appears to be self-published. The National Library's catalogue entry for that 1994 publication says: 'Available from Mr RJ Young, Cnr. Midland Highway & Hayes Road, Swanpool VIC."

Google Earth shows that to be a farmstead. Anybody's guess who resides there today.

He was the founding member of the Vintage Radio Club of NE Victoria.

I can put feelers out to see if any of our deceased estates have one, as he past away some time ago.

Club meeting is Saturday

I have a person that has one and will part with it.

If you did not find one send me an email (don't think its hidden) & we will go from there.
