Hi BN-
The Spiricom looks interesting. I think we could approximate the apparatus with simple home style gear.

The radio idea seems to work by interference with a transmitted field. A cheap and dirty version would take two tiny radios, tune then to the same space between station channels, and rotate them on a table top until they almost (but not quite) feed into one another. Then modulations will occur as changes in the hiss level. You might hear a "hissy voice". If you allow the two to couple a bit more, they will generate a squeal, that can eventually be tuned down to a growl. Modulation will alter the growl. Keep the coupling loose.

For the TV version, it's a simple regenerative video image, point any old video camera at the readout TV screen, turn everything down until it's almost (but not quite) going into oscillation, and look for images to emerge.

I'm curious, so if you get any results, let us know.

I am very intrigued by the spiricom device.

I know both Edison and Tesla both declared that it is technically possible to make a "spiricom" type device to talk with spirits.  When I looked at the photos at 1st I thought they could be easily faked but as I read on there were more significant findings such as spirits relaying accurate information about relatives etc.

Now what was interesting was the complete phone chats with the spirits!  If that was genuine then wowee!

But I'm afraid to say I'm not entirely convinced of it yet as these things can be easily faked and replicated.

However, I remember listening to a recording from Mr. Flint, and the person who was talking was talking about how the Russians he thought would be the first ones to make contact. But that was along time ago, if they were close i'd assume we'd have contact by now.

In the early 1950s in Italy, two Catholic priests, Father Ernetti and Father Gemelli, were collaborating on music research. Ernetti was an internationally respected scientist, a physicist and philosopher, and also a music lover. Gemelli was President of the Papal Academy. On September 15, 1952, while Gemelli and Ernetti were recording a Gregorian chant, a wire on their magnetophone kept breaking. Exasperated, Father Gemelli looked up and asked his father for help. To the two men's amazement, his father's voice, recorded on the magnetophone, answered, “Of course I shall help you. I'm always with you.” 

They repeated the experiment, and this time a very clear voice filled with humor said, “But Zucchini, it is clear, don't you know it is I?”  Father Gemelli stared at the tape. No one knew the nickname his father had teased him with when he was a boy. He realized then that he was truly speaking with his father. Though his joy at his father's apparent survival was mixed with fear. Did he have any right to speak with the dead? Eventually the two men visited Pope Pius XII in Rome. Father Gemelli, deeply troubled, told the Pope of the experience. To his surprise the Pope patted his shoulder and said, “Dear Father Gemelli, you really need not worry about this. The existence of this voice is strictly a scientific fact and has nothing whatsoever to do with spiritism. The recorder is totally objective. It receives and records only sound waves from wherever they come. This experiment may perhaps become the cornerstone for a building for scientific studies which will strengthen people's faith in a hereafter.” 

The good father was somewhat reassured. But he made certain that the experiment did not go public until the last years of his life.
