Re: Enigma
This was a Ground find, from a luftwaffe headquarter in Berlin.
And i am building a replica, and will use the parts i have on it.
I have a LOT of work... Waterfinds are harder to fix up...

Re: Enigma
Yes it was smashed by the germans at the end of the war so the enemies would not get there hands on it.
Like playing with Mecano ^^
The first lot is in GREAT shape, hardly any rust, allmost like new. And the second one... well lets just say it needs some work *lol*
Got them at an incredible price (550 Euro) for both lots. The Rotor Cover Hold-Downs alone cost 250$ in reproduction, and originals go for 500$, the rotor Shafts (i have 20 of these) cost 50$ each repro and 200$ original.

Re: Enigma
Very hard to find items. Good luck on your project too!
I know of a guy here in the UK who owns a complete one. Guess where it came from? The local rubbish tip! Luckly he works there. But he had to buy it. I think he paid £8000? But still a very good price.
Cheers, Ade.
