Looking at some of the issues seen with German comms gear collecting, I've began to wonder. As Nazi Germany utilised more and more conscript or outright slave labor, I wonder if anyone here has found what could be considered sabotage to German equipment? For one example, I read about an allied aircraft that had been hit with cannon fire from some German aircraft, the round failed to detonate and embedded in the allied aircraft. When the ground crew removed the round and disassembled it, it allegedly had a piece of paper inside the fuse it saying something like sorry but this is all they could do to help. I can easily imagine a few million slave laborers doing what they can for the allied war effort.
Also might be a good time to add a dab of antisieze to those screws.Comment

I've seen sabotage in these radios. I can't recall which restoration project this was from, but I distinctly remember a Z23 box from a tank which had badly mounted power connectors inside it. This was clearly sabotage since a failure in this box would lead to failure in several systems within the tank which fed from that junction box.Comment

I have seen sabotage in a 10WSc, the threading on a screw was a bit low, that caused the screw to get loose, making the connection in the socket to RV12P35 tube fail. I had no other explanation, since the screw was in perfect condition...Comment

Interesting, thanks for the responses gents, and sorry to thread hijack.
Perhaps this subject may merit a thread of its own keeping track of what is suspect sabotage, however it would encompass all of Germany's ww2 industries I imagine.
What triggered my thinking along the sabotage line was the headset and its issue.
Going on the idea that the headset Oz repaired in this thread wasn't subject to a subsequent legitimate repair at some time during or post ww2, a worker may have made the headset function in one phone only as an act of sabotage, thereby hindering the effectiveness of the headset especially in a noisy environment such as combat. They would have to know the circuit and how it functions to allow for an act of sabotage that passes an perhaps not too carefull inspection at the WaffenAmt.Last edited by Quatsch; 03-25-2016, 09:03 PM.Comment

Great points everyone, but I feel the missing brown thread binding the wires glued at the ends is an indication of a quick repair. There was also residue of glue on the wires where they were twisted together. I suspect somone with a bit of knowledge on these did the "quick fix"
Thankfully they are back in order, but a full restoration should make them look like this as posted by Nick Komiya on the WAF with black, tan or brown threadComment

Nice radio connection diagram I found on the net:

I spent 1 hour removing panels and probing, and unfortunately there is no way to expose the switch from the back side without unsoldering wires to remove on of the modules. At this point it is not a significant enough problem for me to worry about. I think I would introduce a higher probability of new damage by trying any further.
I will move back to the umformer capacitors and rebuild those over the next week.Comment

Indeed it is difficult to reach in the Mw.E.c. If a jumper was placed it would be somewhere relatively easy to reach, perhaps behind the power socket.
I did a repair recently on a Ukw.E.e on/off switch, much easier to reach!

Apparently from the pdf Oz posted, he needs a sternantenna D model, and a SdKfz 181, preferably a befehlshaber model, to complete the ensemble.Comment
