I am restoring this same model with the Ortssender key and am seeking instructions for activation and use of this "short-distance transmitter". Does any member know if one of the 3 speakers (the center one) acts as the microphone for speech transmissions?

Hello Robert,

the "Ortssender"-Key is only to get your favorite medium-wave broadcast-station by the flick of a switch. On the back side of the set you will find a tuning-capacitor for the preset of this station. There is not a transmitter built in.

Greetings

Eilert

Eilert,
Thank you so much. I was somewhat confused because on the rear panel the lettering has faded slightly and there appeared to be a "spreckreiss" or "speerkreiss" input and I thought it may have meant an MW short distance transmitter (meaning a very low power AM transmitter).
Respectfully,
Robert

Hello, Robert,

the word you couldn`t read very well is " Sperrkreis".

In English that is an eliminator or  wave trap, a resonant circuit by which undesired signals  on  AM are to be weakened.

Best regards.

Ottmar.
