This is a demo of Torn.Eb shortwave receiver from WW2. This has a great mechanical design. See it on the film. The sound is also very good. Hear it on the film.
Extremelly well designed and crafted radio equipment with only 2 to 3 tube types interchangeable between a lot of diferent radio brands as Tfk, Lorenz, Siemens, etc and, even almost 80 y'rs after, perfectly functional !

One of the things that can be observed in this excellent video is the influence of German design in Russian military communications gear after the war. The view of the chassis brought me to my R311 Russian set and even a smaller chinese 339 set that reflects the same basic design but in a solid state receiver.
What it is also worth to mention is that this Tornister-Empfänger b is using direct heated cathods. They are more noisy that indirect heated ones, but after turning on it takes only around 2 seconds to be heated up and be ready for use. In fact the Tornistor-Empfänger b is made of 4 tubes RV2P800 (HF-Pentode), also called "curlers" because of their design. To get the right power out of a 2V battery there was also an inverter available, "Wechselrichter EW.b" which was typically powered by the 2V 38Ah lead acid battery "Sammler 2B38". (B stands for "Blei", german for lead). My father had to of these Receivers. As a young man i've "played" several years (maybe between the years 1982 and 1986) with such a receiver, it made a lot of fun to use it. Even at that time i was always fascinated by the incredible design of this device.
Thank you for excellent video! I have a Torn.E.b which was acquired by a relative during his stint overseas during WW II. It was passed on down through the family and, as the family ham radio buff, I have had it on the shelf for many years. Got it out today, took some pictures and found your web site and here I am. Fantastic! It is a wonderfully built radio - mine has paint loss and the front panel labels are very difficult to read but the interior is in great shape. I am seriously considering building a simple power supply and seeing if I can get it working. Again thanks for the information.
I'm amazed how this high quality receivers used only four tubes and frequently of the same type, compare it with american designed receivers, with a lot of mixed tubes and perhaps not of the same quality... and a premium eletrical and mechanical assembly work !
Germany made good high quality receivers and transmitters even after 80 or so years it is still running maybe wit a little TLC recapping alignment and all out of tolerance stuff awesome👏
As Hitler's progressed with victory clearly fading, Göring said "When this war is over..I'm going to get an English radio. Then at least I'll have SOMETHING that works." Poor old guy! He should have got one of these German Masterpieces. My DL6 friend in Münich tells me that Germany had no access to quartz during WW2 so they had to design receivers without it! They didn't do so badly! I'd love one of these but Helge Fykse has cornered the market. Bit cruel to keep them all in captivity! Should release them back into the wild. Great Video..Thank you.
Witnessed German design of DC line voltage to 220 v AC in a small pack so beautiful and compact to operate Record player Radio to my happiness to note German advance stage of technology in 1970-1980 at a tea garden power supply used to be DC .Air port surveillance Radar is just another feather in their cap 🎉be dedicated nice old is gold and present too shine spreading…
I'm amazed that these are so old but are of such fantastic high-quality design and construction. You have so many interseting radios. Awesome! 0:01 Just wondering...why did you get so many of the same kind? Is it so you have a source of spare parts? I can imagine tubes for those must be getting harder to find these days?
Thanks for the nice comment. I live in Norway and there we have lots of German WW2 radio lying around. The Norwegian army used some German equipment after the war. In most other countries Germany unoccupied, all radio equipment was destroyed. I have a lot of radio tubes lying around here also. 73 the LA6NCA
Nice radio. I spent plenty of time in the video game Wolfenstein - you could shoot these radios and they would burst. Now I see a real one: I want to have one! Also are there televisions from this time period still in existance???
Thanks for the question. I have many such receivers. In a few of them way I replace capacitors. Otherwise, only cleaning and lubricating moving parts. These are high quality radios.
Hi, the > is an old , (wellknown for years) russian military frequency-guard and alarm transmitter buzzing 7/7 days and 24/24 hours . Sometimes you could ear a femelle or a mâle synthetic voice transmitting letters and Numbers in russian as encrypted messages.Actuallyv it’s often Jammed by ukrainien national hymn and folk ukrainian songs and music ! Sometimes Jammed by morse code transmissions. F6BNL. Hamradio operator and s.w.l , 73s and good luck for listening strange shortwave transmissions like numbers stations. Cheers from Lyon in France.

Sorry, I wouldn't call it "influence", it's a copy!!! They took everything they could (just like the North Americans) and they copied everything!
Insanely over engineered -- I love it!

Simply amazing! Impressive the state of conservation of these radios! Congratulations!
Looks to be in excellent condition!
Thank you for this amazing video. Incredible craftsmanship shown by the german designers in their equipment. Definitively build to last like a tank!
Sounds fantastic, thanks for sharing!

@@bogdanbacanu605 Many other projects go in the way so the answer is no. There it sits on the shelf!!

I have a torn eb 1944 that was a vet bring back, still looks like new..
you make me dreamer om .
what a sound , what a vintage quality .. thank's for that
Impressive collection of yours!
Looks like a well designed mechanical layout for the tuning and the audio quality is similar to the later Model R390 we used in the 1960's.
About 1/4 the size.
Wow! Clear and powerful.
Fabulous design, mechanical and electrical. I can't imagine the cost of this!
Thanks very much for sharing. That is a beautiful sounding radio!
Als Amerikanerder der oft in Deutschland ist, staune ich immer ueber die Deutsche Technik! Danke! Almost makes my R390a look crude!
Re set and repair to bring the radio receiver of past are great job and hobby to delight as a second or supplementary happiness 🎉
Bloody German Perfectionism lol. The radios are by far the best radio’s I have ever heard and have seen. Richard vk2ual

fantastic
What a fantastic design!!! Thanks.
A nice piece of German engineering .

What an excellent collection and testament to your skills.
I am awed.
AWESOME, NO NOISE, NON-FATIGUING CW ON 80. I'LL SWAP MY TS440 FOR THIS ANY TIME
Germany made good high quality receivers and transmitters even after 80 or so years it is still running maybe wit a little TLC recapping alignment and all out of tolerance stuff awesome👏
100% completely fascinating!!!!!
Is Nothing out there Better than! Made in Germany

Very nice radio and collection. I wondered what that buzzer station was, very odd.
No one knows what it is used for
@@LA6NCA I've been stumbling across it for years.. Thought it might be somone practising cw on a very bad transmitter...😉
Wow, looks so durable
I really like your radio! I wished I had one! I bet there expensive and hard to get!
Amazing!
I would love to own one amazing radio .
Thank you :)
Absolutely amazing, I'm curious what antenna were you using? I'm very jealous of that low noise floor.
Amazing, innit?

That was amazing thankyou
Fabelhaft und tadelos!
Hello, I have also Torn E.b. Not in very good conditin, but still working. Many years ago somebody repleced original tubes by 6F32 :-(
Is this a regeneration radio?
How good sound!
Yes, it is a regeneration receiver.
It has a very good sound.
It is a very simple design.
I'm amazed that these are so old but are of such fantastic high-quality design and construction. You have so many interseting radios. Awesome!
0:01 Just wondering...why did you get so many of the same kind? Is it so you have a source of spare parts? I can imagine tubes for those must be getting harder to find these days?

The receiver of my dream! +1
0:11 I count about *eleven* of those receivers.
- I'm jealous! ;-)
The turret looks just about the same as in the Marconi R206 made about the same time.
Nice radio. I spent plenty of time in the video game Wolfenstein - you could shoot these radios and they would burst. Now I see a real one: I want to have one! Also are there televisions from this time period still in existance???
NEIN NEIN NEIN
Hello Helge
Do you have the ones what installed in the german tanks. It had 3 different "Blocks".
Absolutely amazing!
I like these "Berta"s (so we call them in german). Unfortunately, I can't get one.
Hm, I have to say, I cant get one yet.
super
What kind of restoration has this set receiver gotten? I'm sure you must have recapped and realigned the receiver, right?
Thanks for the question.
I have many such receivers.
In a few of them way I replace capacitors.
Otherwise, only cleaning and lubricating moving parts.
These are high quality radios.
Often it is also unnecessary with calibration.
Do you suppose the buzzes are bursts of encoded information?
I dont know... Here are more info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UVB-76
Which was the antenna type they were designed for?
Do they have a separate antenna tuner?
what is that 'buzzer' signal transmitter all about?

Single sideband as well. What is that screwdriver adjustment at 4.47?
There is antenna tuning. The input stage is adjusted.
I don't think Marve Fleksnes would approve of a German radio.
el sintonizador es similar a los sintonizadores de los canales de los TV a valvulas
Top of the line,do they still make quality radios like this in Germany or is it like the U.S. sold out to China?
2V and 90V both DC? Which current Amps please? Is it the same for Ukw.E.e please?
How much will a single radio like this sell for in Europe? I have never seen on offered in the states here.
73 KG0MN
Are you selling that one?
Wievel costen das?
Hello, I am from the Netherlands and I am owner of a Thorn EB from 1942. I am looking for the service manual and aligment manual. Can you help me?
I want to be super lucky and find one a garage sale ....lol !!
Do you fix them as well?

I have one for sale if anyhone is interested! I have send the photos to Mr. Helge Fykse!
do you still have it?
Yes I do! But I just left home where I keep my collection so it will be hard to send it to you! What would you be willing to buy it from just to know!
