Most certainly it isn't WW2 Panzer Tank Radio. It seems to be some pre-war measurement device - generator or something... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
val Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 @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: https://www.kriegsfunker.com/radio_coll.html 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
val Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tornfuté Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 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 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kriegsfunker Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 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 you have a tfk variant of this version receiver r87 built sadir you have also sipl on the left you have and adaptor for ? regards RV12P2000 " "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. regards, Funksammler" "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 RV12P2000 " "Hello Some technical information about the fu peil a80 is available in algra funkarhiv ref : 4498/3775 FuPeil A 80c Beschreibung Plan Nov 1944 D 9,00 € Regards RV12P2000 " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
