After 5 years, its time to bring this thread back to life. Here is a new acquisition.

Are you sure its a working phone - looks like a wire is sticking out of the handset (on ebay this phone wouldn`t sell for much). LOL!!!

Anyone recognize this piece of equipment on the fender?

[Funksammler]

It is a WR1 receiver. You can find them in various threads on this forum, e.g.: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...&highlight=wr1

Siemens portable model K32 GWB barracks radio

I am looking for a photo of the Siemens portable model K32 GWB barracks radio
showing it in use. Also are there any books on this subject of WW2 German Radios?

[Funksammler]

As far as I am aware there are no books on the entertainment radios. On military radio equipment there are some, mostly German language, books (Trenkle etc.).

English language books are mainly the Charles C. Barger's books (long out of print),

Metsu's picture book (published by Heimdal) and "Wireless for Wehrmacht" published by wwp are still be available. These are mainly picture books, relatively light on technical detail, that give a good overview of the types of equipment used.

This is a great and very informative forum. I'm not a collector of communication equipment, per se', only having a couple German field phones in the collection. However, I do have a few images of communication equipment in use. If you have any photos of communication equipment in your collection, please post them.

Here is a LW signals unit setting up an antennae of some sort.

Hi Todd.

I think that there are mounting the "anspannbock" where the “Schweres Feldkabel” from FF33,s or trunk lines from other Klappenschranks, spread over the front, end.
Here they mount the abspannbock with porcelain isolators to retain cables and guide them to one or more 20 pairs terminal box, where the field lines are connected to binding post and go to the klappenschrank room by only a 20 pairs cable, avoiding to have someting similar to a "spiderweb" on the room.

You can see it on the KatS-Dv. 861 "Feldkabelbau" from German Bundesamtes für Zivilschutz, page 94.

I am looking for photos of this set issued to the Luftwaffe for personal and entertainment use. I have not been able to find anything period.
I own one of these sets with its original shipping case and provenance.
