Fantastic work Hauser,your eye for detail is second to none,after building a repro torn fu d2 from scratch,really fancy making one of these,a few telephones and things set up on camp,could really get a good field communications impression going.
Could you let me have the dimensions of the enigma,been trawling through the web,but haven't found anything :?
Also,found a site that makes a circuit board to make a working copy of the enigma,does anyone have experience of one of these ? cant work out if they are the same size or not.
All help and information,greatly appreciated.

Im the same some fantastic stuff bring made.Ive made lots in the past but as were I worked closed down Im limited. My dads got a decent wirkshop. In the past Ive made solid landmines ,20mm flak mags ,G43s ,ZF4 wooden scope boxes. My current project once I finish my mates ZF4 scopr box is a 6x30 bino case , Im not sure how far it will go.
