Torn. Fu. b1
 

The Torn.Fu.b1 transceiver was introduced in 1936. It is one of the first models of the "new generation" of military radio devices developed by order of Adolf Hitler to re-arm Germany. The vacuum tubes in the Torn.Fu.b1 are the RV2P800 type.

The Torn.Fu.b1 uses one filament battery (2,4NC38) and two 90 Volt anode batteries.
