this control panel has only two switches. One switch is for sound (Ton), the other for vision (Bild). You can use this set as a radio, when switching on sound (Ton). When you switch on vision, the vision power supply, the valves of the vision I.F., video demodulator and the deflection units are heated, and the E.H.T. transformer is activated.

Kind regards,

Hello.

Yes, I can select between tv audio and tv audio and vision.
In times of no television broadcast, the television transmitter was used for radio broadcasting.

Here is another video, I have recorded today with some still images from the chassis and a short video clip. See the color of the phosphor. The white is a yellowish white, not that blue-tinted white of modern P4 phosphors.

Meanwhile, the number of surviving Telefunken FE VIs increased up to ten. As a result of such videos on Youtube, other people reported further FE VIs which existence was not known before.

Kind regards,
Eckhard
