Although, only 30 radios were planned when project started, now when the processes are running smooth, we can produce some more. Serial numbers 31-40 were scheduled for year 2024 with some news:

1. We are upgrading riveting system for fixing internal metal reinforcements. Although we have tested our first radios in Living history field conditions, nothing prepares our products for brutal delivery and courier services. We have learned a lot from the delivery issues of the 2nd series. All radios from 3rd series have been upgraded to new rivets and so it will be for the next generations. Together with another improvement (a package within a package), our products are now delivered safely and functionally worldwide.

2. For ease of use and to prevent damage, we are separating brain unit from outer case. Battery compartment will still hold visual reproduction of battery, however modern battery will be hidden directly in brain unit together with modern radio. This will avoid frequent disconnection of thin front panel power cables which could be damaged over time.

3. In addition, based on feedback from the first two series, we are introducing a battery with twice the capacity. This will be powered by a standard USB C cable, so it is not necessary to carry extra adapter of another type with you.

 

Beside these news, we are happy to split product into few separate parts, that are often wanted on custom requests. These will be offered as separate products and will allow you to completize missing parts of radio:

a) early war box - "thin rim", suitable for feldfu.b, feldfu.c, feldfu.f, also mine detector Wien.

b) late war box - "thick rim", suitable for feldfu.b2, feldfu.f, has small visual differences and extra rubber pads

c) spare parts - front panel inputs, dial, fernbedienungsteil, etc. on request

d) working unit - radio brain unit + front panel, working standalone and suitable for filling original box

e) lumbar support strap - finally finishing this as a reproduction in our eshop

f) battery box - empty plastic reproduction, already available on stock

g) battery manuals - handbooks and illustrations for usage, already on stock

 

Products a-e should be listed on website during March-Aprile 2024, partially as on stock items and partially as on request.  

 

Thank you for your interest!
