The tubes are WW2. I don't recognize the radio. Is there no kind of date code on any of the tubes ? What is the crystal socket like ?
Is one receiver control really marked " REJECTION " - little hard to see from photo, or if there is even a knob there.
If it's marked " REJECTION ", they intended to print " REACTION " = regeneration. German clandestine equipment was labeled in
English, presumably to try to masquerade as non-enemy. I would look online for photos. I don't recall seeing the photos in any book
I have. That doesn't mean everything, because as we know, there's a lot of radios that never made the books. Maybe someone here
has the Meulstee ( sp ? ) book on clandestine radio. I don't want to look for mine.
Very interesting.

I picked up this transmitter and receiver at an antique store in Richland, Washington a few years back. Both seem to be "commercial"
sets (as opposed to homebrew) and have the distinct clandestine air.
The transmitter is single tube, which is missing, just an octal socket where it plugs in along with a few jacks for a key and power supply.
The receiver is two tube: Telefunken EF13 and EF14, with a tube type socket where presumably a battery plugged in.
The labels on both are gummed paper. Other than the tubes I don't see any manufacturers marks.
I made a link to a few photos:

Any ideas?
