In 
        the Summer of 2005 I got especially lucky, I was offered the following 
        radio sets: (as an explanation: Telefunken 31B – or as 
        better known in Germay, Arcolette 3. This name comes 
        from one of the owners and probably innovators, Graf Dr. Georg 
        von Arco. Telefunken L666 with paper kónusz 
        and Grawor Perkeo with funneling speaker.)

      According 
        to the salesperson the amplifier was used by Germans when bringing Jews 
        into concentration camps, L666 would have been the mike! I knew right 
        away that they miswrote the date but I did not really look at the L666. 
        Only later did I notice that I found a classical speaker with paper cone. 
        Looking over the treasures I quickly made a to-do list: 
        Arcolette 3: cleaning, restoring wood parts, changing 
        the wiring leading to the battery. 
        Grawor Perkeo: cleaning, adding nickelling to the plinth, 
        replacing the membrane, signature ont he ouside funnel 
        Telefunken L666: replacing the zinc-tin casting (spelter), 
        getting a paper cone, re-winding one of the coils 
        I involved experts so the wood parts were not painted but mordanted and 
        laqued. 
        I got wonderful help from my fellow collectors, Laszlo Koger, 
        Istvan Nemeth and Lajos Szecsenyi. 
        Under the connection graphics taken from the cover of the radio I found 
        another surprise, the emblem of Siemens and Halske, „SH”.

        embléma 
      I 
        asked for help from German collectors by e-mail and I got a quick answer: 
      “Dear Selyem Toth, 
        It is hard to say. Siemens and Halske and AEG have founded Telefunken 
        and have worked together for many years, and exchanged spare parts among 
        them. That is how the S and H sign could have appeared on the Telefunken 
        Radio.

      Let the photos speak for themselves, including some of the reconstruction.
