This is way over my head, but interesting for sure. Looks like it was built very well. My father died when he was 62 in 1984 and he was a radio man in WWII and was in the pacific theatre. He did not talk about it, but had some great pictures of the A-bomb going off over Japan. That was a terrible time for a lot of people. Some good tech came out of it but that is really the only thing that can be said about it. Lets hear something about you father I'll bet he was alive then. Thanks again for your videos.
Excellent video which shows the quality and planning that went into each and every one of your radios. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to not only ensure these pieces of equipment are in working order but also to ensure that future Generations are able to appreciate the quality build that went into this equipment during this time in world history...de wa2ddl k...
Yes, Helge...I understand the time and effort it takes just to get a rig up and running for your video very well...I currently own and operate daily an older tube rig (Swan 700cx) and am fascinated by older equipment and appreciate the work that went into your first CQ on a particular radio. All the best and thank you again for many splendid videos. I spent all day yesterday watching many of them...I actually once owned the Radione RS-20, but never got it working. I was surprised to watch your video on the paired transmitter and receiver. Great videos...73s
This is a wonderful receiver. I appreciate the opportunity to see it in detail. Greatly looking forward to the demonstration with your Panzer setup. Thank you!
Construction looks similar to the Telefunken Torn. E.b but the performance of this particular radio is far better. This is the best sounding WW2 mobile receiver I’ve ever heard, with the R1155 being a close second
And, no, don´t think I heard anything better than this, not I have much WW2 stuff laying around... ;-) But these are interesting videos, since us youth often gets hopeless in the face of Riceboxes everywhere on the band. Sometimes it doesn´t seem to be worthwhile building with tubes anymore at all, but who knows one day, you´ll hear a weak, chirpy bird singing his song in very bad and slow CW, and you´ll know it´s me operating from a bicycle with a portable tube rig modeled a bit on these old things. :-) 73 de ON4CPT PS. Please keep up the videos, because now we know it´s normal a dynamotor drops in RPM under full load! And consumes and ungodly amount of current when just doing the receiving work...
Hi again, Thanks for the demo of your old WW11 receiver. It is great that you go to the effort of showing us inside with so much detail. 73's Steve ZL1FS
Es un excelente receptor, la calidad de su audio es igual o superior a los equipos actuales, su dueño tiene una joya de colección, mis sinceras felicitaciones...
The circuit construction is interesting - I've noticed that a lot of this WW2 German stuff is built using only one or two different types of tubes, which is a radical change from the approach that the allies used. That looks like everything is using the RV12P2000, which would certainly have simplified the spares situation. Those metal can Telefunken xtals in the IF are pretty neat, too.

Very well engineered rig! I was always told that the allies and especially the US was way ahead of Germany in radio technology and the use of crystals. Apparently not correct.
The US had the advantage that they had easier access to crystals. Therefore, in Germany they had to make far more accurate mechanics to get good results. They created a radio concept that almost always worked well. They had a long education of communication experts. English radio was based on civilian components and did not have the same education of the operators
can you please show us how the main tuning and fine tuning work, I saw that when main tune the warm gear stays stationary, but when fine tuning the main tuning knob also moves, Must be some clutch mechanism. 73s from country of JY
