Hi roundscreen, the Loewe FE B was the third set made by Loewe and was produced in 1935 and 1936. I estimate that a few hundred of these sets were made for the television reports of the Olympic games in Berlin 1936. A characteristic of this set are the special tubes made by Loewe with double and triple triods similar to your compactrons. Another characteristic was the chassis: circuits are placed on modules which could easily replaced by new modules in case of failure or misfunctioning. As far as I know only one set of these survived in Germany. I don't know how many sets exist elsewhere in the world.
