German WW2 tranceiver Torn.Fu.b1 , A technical review.

[@TheRubbersoul1991]

A work of art. Amazing engineering. And in such good condition. Just like new.

[@lorksmoot4937]

This is an outstanding video! I like the detail shown of components. These empfanger/sender combinations are works of art.....and yours are quite nice. Thank you for sharing your precious equipment. Greetings from Southern Illinois, USA!

[@jonathanadler7103]

I love boat anchors, the older the better. The engineering of these radios is remarkable for the time they were made. It is a joy to see the interior of them and when you consider that they were put through the ringer every day during the war its amazing that you have so many in such great shape.love the videos. 73's N1GWK

[@LA6NCA]

It is a wonderful pleasure to repair and restore these old radios.

[@alevans51]

The relays are just incredible, as are the capacitors. Thank you for sharing this!

[@juliusu.3687]

Fantastic! I really like things from that time. Thanks for the opportunity to see such equipment!

[@rádiosantigos1958]

Congrats, it is a great collection! What a superb design and building quality of the equipment. The best components of the era, no doubt. What a workmanship!

[@Valvulo]

Another great video, almost a class about the state-of-art in circuit design and construction. What amazes me is how they designed whole transceivers based upon a single tube type, like the RV2P800. It's a different paradigm from what we're used with american equipment.

Thanks Helge for this great video. Beautiful radio. 73 from Quebec VE2YMC

[@UDX-340]

Excellent machines, the electrical layout is very traceable. thanks for the video.

[@understandthetimes5721]

Wonderful collection! Beautiful radios!

[@andreaskistler8624]

Great, thanks Helge, I never seen such excellent mechanics. I own the UKW.E.e und the 10W.S.c, both are working.

[@oe5awl1]

Thank you for this super video ! I like to work with my TornFub1, I can be heard in whole Austria in the AMRS-round and the OMs with their SSB-receivers have no problem with my AM ! AMRS means: Austrian Military Radio Society. Thank you once more Helge !

Amazing 80 year old technology built like a fine Swiss watch

[@Tomek-i3g]

During 2WW HF spectrum looked other than today. There was no aviation bands yet so Wehrmacht networks had allocations on every 10 kHz from "Grenze Welle" 2-3 MHz to 6-7 MHz, especially where Helge is tuning, near 5 MHz. All frequencies were used and probably more than one network was on such 10kHz allocation. PSE imagine, there was circa 400 divisions, Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine and other users, it was few thousands of nets or even more. Single wehrmacht division net compised of 5-10 radiostations (regiments) and also other network for communication with higher level (army). Thats for german forces only, but russian, american, british hand own radio traffic! For that reasons HF was overcrowded during big battles and it was very important to shift some traffic to VHF...

[@MrBugsier5]

the quality of this trancyver is nice! you dont expect that from a war product iff you compare it to english or USA equipment . Nice! 73.s PD8533

[@carsten6707]

Fantastiskt jobb Helge! Den ser ju ut som ny från fabriken! Hur fick du den så ren och fin! 73 från Sverige

[@LA6NCA]

Takk, den var slik da jeg fikk den. Jeg vasket og smurte med olje.

[@DO5DGH]

Hey Helge, Thanks or the great video and what a impressive technique! 73 Georg | DO5DGH

[@M1sc3]

Simplesmente fantástico. Agradeço de coração por compartilhar esse video tão espetacular!!

[@sarahhoward9081]

Gotta love that precision German engineering. It looks like a few capacitors have been replaced. What did the originals look and test like? I wonder if they are still good. It wouldn't really surprise me. Do you have any pictures of the original capacitors? Thank you for showing us your beautiful collection!

[@LA6NCA]

Thanks for the question. No, no components have been replaced. Everything is untouched and works 100% Where in the video do you find this? :-)

[@sergiolenzi6909]

magic encredible never see before

[@proudsnowtiger]

Superb. I love how well this is made compared to the British sets. which had a completely different philosophy. And then the Americans came along and developed quartz crystals, which made precision LC irrelevant.

[@Tomek-i3g]

I have russian radio with 12-point tuning on 2nd IF...

[@hddh1942]

who designed, made , assembled, tuned and operate 80 years ago in Deutschland? wow, what a power was behind making these radios! what material, think and a lot more behind producing these wonderful stable Technology was and what a will to run its factories? I'm curious to understand the power of making behind these machines.....

[@LA6NCA]

Very skilled engineers at Telefunken and Lorenz design the German WW2 radios. It was mechanically very good design. Skilled workers were needed to produce these. Also very accurate milling machines.

[@ВладимирВершинин-о5ш]

В германии все всегда делалось окуратно и качественно

[@richardknight5344]

I have a torn wv 1940 that was a vet bring back, still looks like new…

[@horus5697]

"Torn.Fu.b1" stands for "Tornisterfunkgerät b1" (knapsack transceiver b1) which means that a poor fellow had to carry this unit on his back...

[@rádiosantigos1958]

About the cast material of the chassis. It is aluminum or that kind of elektron alloy? Thanks.

[@БорисДроздин-г9б]

Very Good the your video Om Helge LA6NCA. 73! de UA1CCE

So Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool !!!! Das war noch Technik. 73" DO5JB

[@jimbridge4166]

Those are serious boat anchors.

[@philh5829]

This is engineering par exelance, nothing else comes even close

[@MrTrumpet56]

Alt dette for 1w?

[@mrperkinsthehusky]

How do you have so many of the same radio

[@pengagumrahasia4829]

Made in germany,number one in the world👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@chrismamba466]

Om,radionya beli dimana,YD1SGK,73 Txs

[@LA6NCA]

Here in Norway it is easy to find such.

[@biringen]

Man kan si mye rart om Tyskerne under krigen.... men de lå langt foran alle de allierte på teknologisiden og våpen, mye er faktisk overdesignet for kvalitet foran kvantitet.

[@Strike_Raid]

That is amazing; but man, all that for one watt, it almost seems silly.

[@probekonto1434]

Woher hast du unsere schönen Funkgeräte?

[@LA6NCA]

I have been collecting German WW2 radio for 55 years. I got the first one when I was 10 years old, and I still have it.

[@thomaskallmyr]

MEGET INTRESSANT.TAKK FOR DENNE GANG. OVER AND OUT.

[@ярославзаблоцкий-и2м]

Ну немец молодец . сколько собрал радиолстанций ...

[@БорисДроздин-г9б]

этот парень из Норвегии ..

[@mikebountain]

.. всё равно молодец

[@massimocolangeli8009]

LA6NCA Congrats O.M. on your wonderful stuff! Hope to QSO! Best 73 from "Max", I0BAM.

[@Tomek-i3g]

Well made, Russians copied that style in many post war radios... BTW it is not tranceiver but radiostation! There are not common parts and signal paths as I understand.

[@chuljinkim4084]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@massimocolangeli8009]

German quality!

[@lalsindu3902]

wonderful stuff ha this is German

[@kilcar]

That transmitter would cost $50k to build now! I'm guessing. I wonder where these transceivers were manufactured?

[@panagiotismargaritis3454]

Εχεις περιφημον συλλογην πομπ δεκτων Ευγε συναδελφε
