We found this circuit in a 1976 publication. The transistors can be BC547 or 2N2222. Crystals up to a few tens of Megahertz can be tested. The LED can be of any type. The capacitors must all be ceramic.
This circuit is from 1977 documentation, but can be assembled with BC548 for Q1, Q2 and Q4, BC558...
Found in American documentation from the 90s, this circuit uses components that are still common...
This high impedance input amplifier is suitable for the use with piezoelectric sources such as...
