Blaupunkt model was WR1 (this is on the label) though here and there it was called WR1/T. We have both models at RKK Radio Museum in Moscow, Russia.

    SW: 6.0 ÷ 15.5 MHz (50 ÷ 19.4 m.)
    With the insertion of the group of coils available on request it is possible to receive these special wave ranges:
    SW II: 21.7 ÷10.5 MHz (13.8 ÷28.5 m.)
    SW III: 10.5 ÷ 4.6 MHz (28.5 ÷ 65.0 m.)
    SW IV: 4.6 ÷ 1.5 MHz ( 65 ÷ 200 m.)

    This device can also be powered in alternating voltage with any value between 90 and 250 V, it does not require a voltage change.

    Jack for pick-up and earphone. With a microphone and adding a tube it can works as an amplifier.

In einer nicht veröffentlichten Philips-Apparate-Typen-Liste aus 1955 habe ich ein Gerät mit der Bezeichnung Rudi erfasst. Das Dokument zählt 140 Seiten und enthält nur die originelle Röhren-Bestückung von Philips-Geräten und Geräten angehöriger Firmen/Marken (wie NSF, Siera, Mediator, Jura, Mullard, Fenno, Dux, Kosmos, usw.) bis 1946.

Siehe Ausschnitt aus dem genannten Dokument.

Auch dieser Rudi ist mit 7 Röhren bestückt, die alle (ausserhalb der DC21) im RMorg auch schon angelegt sind, aber noch nicht mit einem Gerät verlinkt.

Hi,

I found an interesting Slovak version of "Rudi" - VR1-S. The tubes D..25 were originally in the set, but the found set was in a bad condition. Restoration done partially. To get feeling how this radio performes, a super made on E..21 tubes installed so far. The radio showes an extremelly high sensitivity. All the labels on the front page are in Slovak language.

Has anyone an idea which manufacturer produced this set? Original resistors and condensers made by Siemens. The guys specialising on military sets said, that this set was provided to Slovak troops, during the so called former "Slovak state", cca 1940, to highly positioned Slovak officers.
