I started working with WWII radio equipment 8 years ago after seeing photographs of Wehrmacht radio sets for the first time. With the help of Vladimir Dvorkin, I've acquired radio textbooks from the 1930s where the theory and practice of radio engineering is described with freshness and great detail. I'm always hunting for original manuals and texts, both in English and in German. I am always on the lookout for new and interesting equipment not only to add to my collection, but to restore and tune to factory specifications. My goal is also to educate the world about these devices and the genius of this forgotten technology.

As archeology aims to educate mankind about its past through the study of historical artifacts, the restoration and study of military technology from major military conflicts aims to educate mankind about the history of the engineering mind at the pinnacle of inventiveness. I constantly discover interesting and unusual implementations of functionality.

I offer restoration services for military (and civilian) antique radio equipment. I guarantee that I will restore your radio set with the same devotion, quality and attention that I would give my own radio equipment.

 
My father, Vladimir is an electrical engineer by education and profession, his consultations are very valuable for repairing WWII radios. His education took place in the 1940s and 50s, when the vacuum tube was the dominant technology.
 
The purpose of this site and our hobby is to learn about the communications technology of military organizations in the 20th century. Part of this includes the communications equipment of Third Reich Germany. The regime which ruled Germany during this time was criminal one, and we deplore its ideology and atrocities committed against the peaceful peoples of Europe. This site has absolutely no political purpose or affiliation whatsoever.
 
 
We are always open to new information, recommendations or suggestions. All new information is very welcome.
