Thank you Snautzer.

I have known and checked the restoration photos of the French He 162, but their ZVG 15 was missing. I also found photos of the interior of the He 162 that the Technikmuseum in Berlin recently acquired from Canada. The ZVG 15 is also missing unfortunately in their machine.

The photos you posted of the rear fuselage show the FuG 24 transmitter and FuG 25, the FuG 24 receiver was in the cockpit and the ZVG 15 as well as the transformer (Umformer 15) above the main fuselage tank. But you can see a wodden plate on shock absorbing mounts.

I have found photos of a diassembled He 162 in the UK, taken shortly after the war, where you can indeed see two boxes of similar size further aft of the battery, which was also in the same compartment. The transformer of the FuG 16 was relatively large (much larger than the ZVG 16) and if the one to be used for the FuG 24 was similar in size, it must have been at another location, OR it was smaller in size.

Therefore, I asked for photos of the ZVG 15, so that I can determine which of the two boxes was the ZVG 15 and which possibly the transformer.

Does anyone has a copy of the FuG 24 manual? I am pretty sure some drawings or photos of the ZVG 15 and Umformer 15 would be shown in that manual.

Cheers,
Roger
