No doubt. Even the Hitler radios (a special series of radios
built by Telefunken circa 1935) are very valuable indeed.
Their build quality is remarkable.

Huge quantities of Wehrmacht tubes were also made.
These too are rarely seen, most being in the hands of
collectors. I know one that has many hundreds,
all sealed NOS. Both the tubes themselves and the
boxes are marked with the Wehrmacht black cross.
Many also have the national insignia of the spread-eagle
carrying a swastika.

Nice site with a brief history, pics, etc, of the things.

http :// www .oldradioworld.de/volks.htm

Schematics. plus VCL11 and VY2 valve specs, if you want to build your
own.

http :// www .vcomp.co.uk/schematics/volksempfanger/volksempfanger.htm

On another note, that last site has an interesting 1933 article on
building your own radio, right down to hand made coil, tuning
condenser, 'wire wound' (filament) resistor, pencil mark on wood grid
leak, and paper clip tube socket.

In their cost workup they consider most everything (like wood, tin
foil, wax paper, cork, tacks, thread spool, metal bits) free except
for the tube and wire. And, as always, batteries not included.

Was that you that made the one declined offer? I was tempted to offer
$10.

I hadn't seen that.

Shame on you. Three Hail Marys !

Puts a new perspective on the tube lovers as a religion though.
