Anyone having any info on the wireless body type?
Pictures drawings of it, inside and out?
And notice the "heater ting" on the front shield. Also the search light in the middle of the windows.

Our MCC man Rory Ballard had a look at it and pronounced it as originally an office bodied CS8, these have two penthouses that extend from either side, however the body had been quite significantly altered from the canvas original.

The windscreen demister/defroster is a standard German item and can be regularly seen. It is little more than a glazed frame with a number of fine resistance (eureka or nichrome) wires strung across it between spring steel fingers that act as the contact feed points. It is simply plugged in to the standard Wehrmacht dash socket.

I had the opportunity to rebuild one of these for Paul Hocking's Stoewer; we only had one original wire but from its length. resistance and gauge, some replacement was found to restore the device to working order.

While we're on CS8 trucks, that young Rory Ballard has just bought this. . . . . . . . .
