Hi guys...
for my 251/6 conversion, I am in desperate need of an Enigmamachine..
I got tips that one could be in a Verlindenset (which I can not find) and a DES-conversionkit for a radiotruck (which I can not find either!!)

Can anyone help me out here???

Costs will be covered offcourse.....

Thanks a million!!

cheers

Ron,
I have seen this discussed before and as I have a set of the Verlinden German Radios, the item that you may mean is actually a keyboard unit for teletype messages.

I hope that this stops you possibly spending money on something that will waste your time and hard earned cash.

Regards,

John

Hi Ron,

Here's a link to Bletchley Park where they broke the code, there is a picture of an Enigma machine on their home page.

A google search brought up some useful sites.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

6x the same post? Isn't that overkill?

Hi Erwin,

Just spotted that, sorry the machine was acting up when I posted, technology is great when it works, a real pain when it doesn't.

Corrected now.

Cheers

Al

Certainly looks scratch-buildable -

Hi Guys,

John asked me to post this photo (if I can get it to work)
To show some "in progress" examples of a 1/35th scale enigma machine. It's a laser cut kit and he's been working out details off and on for some months now. It's tiny and the details like the buttons have to be represented the best way wthout making it too difficult to assemble.
Shouldn't be too much longer before we'll have it offered on my website.
