They were well-built instruments and can be used for LF and VLF radio reception EXCEPT there is no useable AGC as SLMs either have manual range switches or autorange in big steps.

The connectors on it are known as Siemens 3-pole being a balanced pair and ground. I still use them for 13.8v distribution in my shack. Each pole is a normal 4mm banana. You probably have a few switched impedance levels and maybe a high-Z bridging mode.

But remember, das gerate ist nicht für gefingerpoken!
