In
the Summer of 2005 I got especially lucky, I was offered the following
radio sets: (as an explanation: Telefunken 31B – or as
better known in Germay, Arcolette 3. This name comes
from one of the owners and probably innovators, Graf Dr. Georg
von Arco. Telefunken L666 with paper kónusz
and Grawor Perkeo with funneling speaker.)
1. gróf dr. Georg von Arco
According
to the salesperson the amplifier was used by Germans when bringing Jews
into concentration camps, L666 would have been the mike! I knew right
away that they miswrote the date but I did not really look at the L666.
Only later did I notice that I found a classical speaker with paper cone.
Looking over the treasures I quickly made a to-do list:
Arcolette 3: cleaning, restoring wood parts, changing
the wiring leading to the battery.
Grawor Perkeo: cleaning, adding nickelling to the plinth,
replacing the membrane, signature ont he ouside funnel
Telefunken L666: replacing the zinc-tin casting (spelter),
getting a paper cone, re-winding one of the coils
I involved experts so the wood parts were not painted but mordanted and
laqued.
I got wonderful help from my fellow collectors, Laszlo Koger,
Istvan Nemeth and Lajos Szecsenyi.
Under the connection graphics taken from the cover of the radio I found
another surprise, the emblem of Siemens and Halske, „SH”.

embléma
I
asked for help from German collectors by e-mail and I got a quick answer:
“Dear Selyem Toth,
It is hard to say. Siemens and Halske and AEG have founded Telefunken
and have worked together for many years, and exchanged spare parts among
them. That is how the S and H sign could have appeared on the Telefunken
Radio.

Let the photos speak for themselves, including some of the reconstruction.
