Wow....NICE Ray!...the Mechanical Engineer in me just absolutely LOVES
that rotating turret with all the (I am assuming) internal tuning coils
and tuning equipment. :)

The second German Torn E.b. set that I have done. Built the power supply,
had to remove a bunch of modifications and return to original
configuration and after a big search located the original power connector
for the front of the radio to replace the octal socket that someone
installed so that all original now. The male plug set was from what was a
clump of corroded pot metal that had been buried somewhere in
Russia for fifty years or so before it was purchase by the radios owner
and provided, amazing how well it cleaned up.

If you never used a TRF regen before there is a learning curve. Can see
why US manufactures abounded that technology by the late twenties but
have noticed that a lot of the early German radios were TRF/Regens.
