Fw190 antenna wire tension (1 Viewer)

[stona]

I'm trying to find out how the antenna wire tensioning system worked on the "flat" hoods fitted to Fw190s. I'm aware that the antenna wire passed over a roller on top of the hood before passing into the fuselage,through a slot in the headrest support and then down to another pulley in the fuselage. At this point I lose track of it. Any info most gratefully received.
TIA

I know this is an ancient thread but while googling for an answer to this very wuestion I found it and was wondering if anybody has an answer or maybe a diagram?

Thanks!

I'm sure it's in one of the many FW190 manuals in the technical section

Hi Thank you,
Got the same in this forum through the FW190 A-5/A-6 manuals.
Fw-190 Manual's
But with the jettisonable canopy (item 21 cartridge "druckpatrone"), not sure this equipment was fitted to the early FW190 A-2/A-3?
From my side, still looking for early version, certainly more simple and looking like this:

Thanks a lot.
