WW2 PANZER RADIO....???

[Desert Rat]

Hello To all you experts out there,

Can you please confirm if this is an original WW2 Panzer Tank Radio?

I have no Idea, but would appreciate your kind replies.

The price is 650 Euros.....But he may take less?

I am not sure whether to buy it, it all depends on your professional opinion and knowledge.

I, Thank you all in advance....Desert Rat

Thankyou.....Desert Rat

Most certainly it isn't WW2 Panzer Tank Radio.

It seems to be some pre-war measurement device - generator or something...

@Desert Rat - i see the type shield on top of your "tank radio".

Make a good photo of it and then it's clear what it is actually.

Regarding real tank radios: see the section "Gepanzertes Fahrzeug / Panzer Funkgeräte" at this url:

Thanks for the link Val,

That is very informative, I will check again, but I think the price/ looking at the condition is not worth it?....As it may need a lot of repair work?

Best to you....Desert Rat/ Ian

I see there's lot of tubes missing.

But type shield tells what this is actually.

I guess it's generator but type shield makes it clear.

Hello it’s not a generator it’s a french design R87  VHF receivermade by sadir 

taken by the germans and used  by  units like luftwaffe , they are 

different frequencies range, it was a good receiver , some were taken

back by french after WWIIand again used without german labels outside , but still inside

Thank you Pierre, you learn every day. French stuff is still relatively unknown to me,

but i'm learning, thanks to you.

Copying some responses from the Wehrmacht Awards forum from previous threads:

"The Sadir was build for the Luftwaffe from 1940 to about 1942. It was replaced late in the war by the E53 "Ulm"."

"The SADIR R87 you have was made for the Luftwaffe, they all have the French type plate and German legends for the controls. The original French version has French legends, a squarer casing, different antenna socket and is a different colour"

"Hello
On the net at this url : https://www.the-saleroom.com/de-de/a...4-a69700984ce6

"It is the "Tornado" RDF version of the R87 (FuPeil A80 or FuPeil A81 depending on frequency range). The Germans had a shortage of VHF receivers (the E53 "Ulm" was delayed), so the French "Sadir" remained in use for VHF interception and RDF roles.

"Hello funksammler
Thank you for your response with the technical information
In the french versions the antenna is two dipoles
The survey of doubt being carried out by imbalance of one of the two dipoles (resistor by relay)
In the photo left side of the receiver there is additional box that was added compared to the original version
Probably a more sophisticated antenna system can be a Adcock with a raised of doubt
This explains the role of the switch
An other improvement in this receiver the local oscillator is in push pull for the vhf frequency
Many thank
Regards
