Some more info (mostly about the tuning procedure) [of the Kurzwellen Empfänger Siemens] here:

BTW this site is a comprehensive source on classic shortwave radios that enjoyed some popularity in central Europe.
Indeed! I have stumbled across ShortwaveRadio.ch many times before doing research and meant to mention it here on the SWLing Post. Thank you for the reminder!
What’s so impressive about this site is that it’s in both German and English.
If I ever make it to the excellent Friedrichshafen ham radio convention, I’ll have ShortwaveRadio.ch bookmarked on my smartphone to help me ID all of those amazing European boat anchors in the flea market!
Thanks again for the tip!
Yes, it’s a d-Version with three thermostat lamps (crytal ofen), the third for the sideband crystals is only found in the d-Variant which came out in 1964.
I have to go through the e-311 page on my website and improve…
There is an excellent german language text about this fine rx in radiomuseum.org, see the forum text entries on this page

and yes, the price is from European point of view quite high, even if the set is in perfect condition. kind regards
