German Luftwaffe/Kriegsmarine receiver E382Bf

Code: 10325

SOLD

This is a Telefunken E382Bf receiver from the FuG V installation. The receiver was originally developed for the Kriegsmarine as a variation of the FuG III installation used by the Luftwaffe. The main difference with the Luftwaffe version was that the tuning mechanism had a number of presets covering marine emergency frequencies. When the Kriegsmarine flying service was transfered to the Luftwaffe, the installation was named FUG V to distinguish it from the existing FuG III installation. The Kriegsmarine version remained in use on small sea going vessels as a long/short wave communications radio system. The receiver on offer is in very good conditon. The cables are not original to the receiver but were fitted to be able to operate it.
