Radios in a Maus wooden prototype

Looks like a wooden prototype of the Maus was built and outfitted with internal parts, including the radios.   I found a book where these were photographed.

Interesting how it differs from the standard Bordsprechanlage 20.

Interesting they needed two antennas, also note that the circuit of the antenna matching boxes are completely different for just 1.5 m difference in cable length..... Oh well, at least we now know what the antenna cables "n" and "o" were used in...

Driver had his own intercom box, and there was an extra power plug in the turret, fed from the slip ring.

The Steckdose in the turret is intriguing, it is connect in parallel with the Kasten.Pz.nr.22 of the Richtschütze.The Maus apparently used two loaders in the turret which do not have dedicated intercom boxes. Perhaps a special extension cable for the headset was connected to the socket so the loaders could move around the larger space...
