 What you will need:
 (the number in brackets is a reference
 number which matches the schematic. The
 number in paranthesise is the amount of
 the part needed.)

   [1] (1) 1n34a crystal diode
   [2] (2) 2n107 audio transistors
           (ge-2 or equivalent)
   [3] (1) 3k ohm variable resistor
   [4] (2) 560 ohm 1/2 watt resistor
   [5] (1) 15k ohm variable resistor
   [6] (1) 500 ohm variable resistor
   [7] (1) .002 Uf capacitor
   [8] (1) 1.5 Volt aa battery
   [9] (1) aa battery holder
  [10] (1) 0-300 microammeter
           (lafayette 99-g-5028 or
            equivalent)
  [11] (1) 10 millihenry choke (ohmite
           z-50)
  [12] (1) single-pole single-throw
           (spst) toggle switch
  [13] (1) project box (radio shack)
  [14] (1) antenna (either from an old
           transistor radio or a stiff
           piece of wire will also work)
  [15] (1) 2000 ohm headset (or a mini-
           ature earphone like most tv
           and radios use)

   the parts can be purchased from radio
 shack for less than $20.  This is a
 very good high-gain meter-type bug
 detector.  It has a crystal diode with
 2 amplification stages to boost the
 power of the meter.  This produces a
 broad-band, battery-powered, receiver
 that can sense radio-frequency transm-
 itters up to a mile away.  Unfortun-
 ately, it will also pick up a commerc-
 ial am or fm station up to 3 miles
 away....

    "my name is bond, james bond."

My next gadget is what is called a
bumpbeeper.  It attaches to the under
side of a car with magnets and then
sends out a signal that can be heard on
a radio.

 Parts list: () = diagram #

    (1) 2n635a transistor
    (2) 4.3K 1/2 watt resistor
    (3) 1 meg potentiometer
    (4) 10k 1/2 watt resistor
    (5) 50pf capacitor
    (6) 365pf variable capacitor
    (7) .005Uf capacitor
    (8) .01Uf capacitor
    (9) ferrite loopstick (from a crys-
   (10) coil [see text]    tal radio)
   (11) single-pole single-throw switch
   (12) 9 volt battery
  (opt.) Battery clip & case
   (13) antenna

 this device is a constant tone signal-
ling source that can be tuned to any
clear spot below 1000 khz.  If magnets
are attached to the case, it can quick-
ly be installed under the persons car.
(9) Is a standard ferrite loopstick tha
t can be purchased at radio shack.
(10) Is simply 12 turns of plastic cov-
ered hookup wire wound over (9).

 to tune the transmitter:

 1)pick an empty spot on the am car
     radio below 1000 khz.
 2)Switch on the transmitter with the
     spst switch.
 3)Tune the 365 variable capacitor
     slowly until a shrill note can be
     heard from the car radio.
 4)The pitch of the note is adjustable
     by turning the 1 meg potentiometer
