Torn.Fu.d2 A

[Yuri D.]

An interesting late-war Torn.Fu.d2 "A" was just sold on Ebay. Does anyone know anything about this model? Looks like it's dated 1945. There are some design simplifications also. Below are the pics:

The Torn.Fu.d2a was a simplified version of the Torn.Fu.d2 made in the final months of the war. To simplify production the "Rasten" (frequency pre-select) were omitted, the frequency calibration ports were changed, the antenna current meter was replaced with a lamp type indicator. I haven't studied the internals of a d2a, but it is likely that there may have been some production simplifications there too. As far as I am aware, frequency, performance etc. remained the same as with the d2.

Also looks like the oscillator cavities have been replaced with simple L-C oscillators.

due to telephone plug (remove , suppress)the transformer U3 is omitted
some holes in front pannel were closed by a metal plate not like on the pictures
showing d2a . may be somebody place meters after WWII ?
