    Description

    This radio Loewe Ortsempfanger OE333 is a simple single-circuit with the possibility of local loudspeaker reception.
    The Loewe OE333 is the first radio with the first integrated circuit in the history
    Special is the tube used here, a Loewe 3Nf. where 3 l.f. triodes, 4 resistors and 2 capacitors are integrated into a broadband amplifier.
    The first triode works here as an anode detector. The sound volume is adjustable by tilting the antenna coil.
    The on / off switch with two push buttons is located on top of the device, as well as the tuning knob.
    This receiver was also available in a Bakelite cabinet from 1928. this is the wooden version in the listing. I sell the wooden version as per listing pictures
    The Loewe OE333 is the first radio with the first integrated circuit in the history
    the Loewe 3NF incorporates three triodes, two capacitors and four resistors in a single glass envelope. The inclusion of  the passive components reduced the number of pins required to six, but to avoid them contaminating the vacuum, they are each sealed inside a glass tube.
    One of the reasons for the development of this amazing device was that in Germany, there was a tax on receivers based on the number of valves in the set, so in 1926, Loewe Radio A.G introduced the 3NF, and also another multi-valve, the 2HF, which contained  two screen-grid tetrodes, two resistors and a capacitor, intended for use as a two-stage RF amplifier. The original Loewe multi-valves are masterpieces of glasswork, which must have been very expensive to manufacture, so later versions used a mica supports, and the glass was given an aluminium outer coating to hide the less elegant internal structure. An obvious drawback of putting three valves in a single envelope is that if one filament fails, the whole device becomes useless, but to counter this disadvantage, Loewe offered a repair service to replace failed filaments.
