Make your own capacitor with stuff from the kitchen https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/07e4dcba-40fc-4cb3-bc0f-60b457e22015 Some kitchen aluminium foil, some book covering and some wire. That's all it takes to make your own capacitor. And it can be made variable as well. Ideal for bare-bones crystal sets where you wish to make all the parts. The larger the area of overlapping foil and the tighter the pressure (consider a clothes peg to hold tight) the higher the capacitance. Values from a few pF up to 1nF should be readily possible.
