The material of the housing is solid massive wood (no plywood), The dial scale border is in bakelite.
I found my set of very high quality. I am really astonished that after 70 years it is in such a good condition, although quite a lot of components have been replaced (mains xformer, capacitors, rectifier and AN4126 tube). The two RENS1234 tubes have both lost their grey coating

Dear Georges
You have a very nice Lorenz 33W Supercelohet. I like your pictures and think it is wise to get a photo of the content within the chassis. Well done. I also saw that you have created some new models to our data base.

It would be very nice if you could select wood for this set plus the shape and the measurements. Maybe you even have something for the field "notes"? This would enrich the model directly.

You can as well just post an "answer" to your existing post if you list new findings. It does not matter that we list now 3 different posts but I write this also for others to remember. It is not obvious that the link "Answer" is also meant for new information to the same subject, here your Lorenz 33W Supercelohet. I don't know if you read also German but there are articles how to create a new metallic coating. Please list this as an answer here if you need help or if somebocy should translate that article. You sure get help also if you do postings in English. Unfortunately perhaps not so much if you post in French, Italian or Spanish (yet).

Hello Ernst,

Thanks for the information.
Yes, I uploaded information about every "treasure" i add to my collection, and if it is ok for you, I will go on in the future
Yes, I do understand German, and I already read the articles you mention.I find them particulary interesting.
What is not so clear to me is how I can change or add the relevant information about the enclosure of the Supercelohet.
Can you please explain?

Georges

Changing or adding data to a model:

Dear Georges
I clicked the flag for English to give you the correct link name in English:
After writing teh Word supercelohet (or only superce) into the field into the fild "Simple search for Old Time Radios" you get a list of such models and choose the one you want to see. You get your radio model page - say for Supercelohet 33W. Beolow on this page you should find the link "Suggest change". You have already used one of the other links: "Add information to model" to write this in the first place.

Clicking "Suggest change" you receive a page with the accepted alterations and addings somebody has done before - in this case yours.

The link "Propose new suggestion" brings you to the actual form with a list of all the features displayed up to now on the left part and fields for new proposals on the right part. Scrolling further down you find two fields: One for Material and one for Shape. For Material you select "Wooden case" (instead of "unknown"). for Shape you select "Tablemodel, high profile (upright)" but to my knowledge it is nearly a "Tablemodel Thombstone". So the latter could be accepted but is not really true in this case.

I don't know if that is really the answer to your question. I believe that you want to express that this particular model was being built with solid wood. You still would do the above but you would write in your own words into the field "Notes" what you would like to add to the model in your own way. This field can contain many lines - the more the better for the model.

Into the field at the bottom of the form you give a short notice for your reasons to the administrators. If not necessary you put in a single letter because it has to contain something before the GO button does it's job. Now looking to it I believe you have already done theses steps whilst I'm writing - what a coincidence .... ;-)

So this is for other members ...
I think we have some really unique features in our "Radio-City" or even "Radio-World" here: We all (some 2000 members from 50 countries) can add new radio makers or new models and we can change on both types or load up pictures - or even write findings or questions to the models or companies. I'm certain that in a years time we will have made again very big steps to the goal of a good radio catalogue with valid information for guests and members. I'm aware that we have a real "most complete radio catalogue" for the German speaking countries plus the Netherlands - but only a very beginning for other countries. :-(

I thank you for participating.

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Radio year to you, to all your team and to all the fellow old radio lovers
