Tonnie form Daarlerveen, the Netherlands.

I am Tonnie Wittenaar, a Ham Radio Amateur in the Netherlands. Callsign: PE1DYM
Thanks for adding me to the board.

Currently in the process of total overhaul of a Lorenz LO15
Got this unit a few months ago together with some other stuff.
I used to have a LO15 in the '80's but unfortunately i sold it back then.
Last 5 years looking for a LO15 and found this in Rotterdam. Is was for years stored in a cellar, unattended and very dusty. Luckily it had a dust (or noise) cover so the mechanics where not as dusty as the cover. But a lot of hardened grease.


It is now running but i have to replace the cap on the motor, and possibly also the caps in the rest of the machine.

I can read and understand the German Language , but my German writing is horrible. I will try when i can.

Welcome to the forum Tonnie.

Wish you a lot of fun here.
Maybe you would like to connect your machines to the i-Telex network We need more "real" Dutch members.

Hi Henning & Thomas, thanks for the welcome

Yes, that's the idea, but first things first and get the lo15 up and running.
I have looked at the project i-telex and was impressed about the work they put in there.

My plans are indeed to order the boards to make a node, but also connect it to my Transceiver (FT-767GX)

Hi Tonnie,
welcome to our community!
I have a Lo15, too. So maybe if you need a photo of the original state I could help.
I wish you good success with your repair and hope to hear from you in baudot writing soon.
Best Regards
Stefan
