Since the Enigma-E was introduced in November 2003, we've received
numerous encouraging e-mails from our users.
Here is what some users have written us:

- Laurence Rudolf, UK
...It worked first time as I had hoped it would. It does everything a genuine
Enigma machine would. It is a fantastic thing and I am very happy with it.
If you want to treat yourself to a good X-Mas present then what could be
better...

- Marco Spoel, Netherlands
Best birthday present in years.
- Bart Wessel, Netherlands
...I enjoyed building it very much. All in all it took about seven hours to
finish, meaning I had a couple of fun nights at the kitchen table!
...Mine has been running happily from the first time I switched it on!

Despite having not picked up a soldering iron in over 10 years,
it was very easy to put together. I managed to complete the whole
thing in about 10-12 hours. I've always wanted my own Enigma machine,
but since the real thing would cost in excess of $10,000, this is
definitely the next best thing. The Enigma-E is without a doubt,
the coolest toy I've gotten my hands on in years.
- Grant Searle, UK
Wonderful kit. All parts present (plus an additional yellow led!).
I built it in a day - I put the sockets and clipped in the switches
in the afternoon while watching television, then spent about 3 hours
soldering in the evening. I left the ICs until last as I perfer to
add any static-sensitive devices at the end. Attached a battery and
it worked perfectly first-time. Highly recommended!
- Roger Wortley, UK
...My Enigma-E worked first time. Thanks for a really great kit. Superbly
put together and documented. There is nothing to improve.
Absolutely brilliant.
- Tim White, UK
...your kit presentation is really excellent and the manual is a lesson
in how to do manuals. As a photographer with a mountain of Japanese manuals,
I think you could teach our Nipponese friends a great deal...

Since its introduction in November 2003, the Enigma-E has received a
wide press coverage. Several magazines around the globe have been triggered
about the story of the Enigma and wrote articles about the Enigma-E.
Here are some examples:
|
- USA, Discover Magazine, May 2004, page 76
Enigma machines are today very expensive and exceptionally rare.
One of the few places where they are on display is Bletchley Park (...)
The result is the Enigma-E, a digital, electronic version of the device
that can be purchased and assembled at home with the aid of a soldering iron.

- UK, RadCom, June 2004, page 32
It's a great feeling when a new project works perfectly first time -
as mine did (...)
As a collector of code and cypher systems from 1936 up to the
1970s, this kit was a must have for me and comes highly recommended.
Strangely, perhaps, it does not look out of place beside an original
Enigma.

- UK, Elektor Electronics, July/August 2004, page 9
Enigma-E is yet another demonstration of Paul and Marc's ingenuity
when it comes to translating concepts (this time eletro-mechanical
encryption) into real electronics. This time, quite unexpectedly, the
interest was even greater in the UK than in their home country.

- Netherlands, Elektuur, September 2004, page 10
Meer dan zestig naar na dato staat de Enigma, de beroemde codeermachine
uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog opnieuw in de belangstelling.
Nota bene twee Nederlanders blazen dit Duitse concept, dat door de
Engelsen werd ontcijferd nieuw leven in.

The Enigma-E kit is intended as a fund-raiser for a few selected
meseums. It is therefore not available directly from this website, but
can only be ordered through these museums. More information on the
