Need some information and pictures of No. 19 radio gear
 
I am in need of some information on the length and diameter of the antenna tuning device, looks like a coffee can with a knob.

I would also be greatful for a straight on shot of the intercom box that the headsets plug into. I am mainly trying to find out what switches and labels are on there. I would also like to have width and depth measurements of this box if possible so I can make a scaled down version of it.

As always that you for your help... :cheers:

It's called a variometer
 
Used to match the wireless signal to the aerial. It's 4-3/4" diameter by 8" long (less the dial).

Not sure if this helps, but it gave me an excuse to climb in my carrier. I have a spare UK variometer lable for a fiver if anyone needs it. Ron

silly question this, but do these set s work ? what i mean is say you had a convoy of ww2 Mv's........ a carrier platoon to be precise ! could the carriers comunicate with each otehr ? or are these items purely asthetic ?

Ron Pier 28-10-09 11:01

Richard these wireless sets are usually disabled from transmitting as it's illegal to transmit without the appropriate license.( in this case a ham radio operators license). Receiving is OK as it's just like any domestic radio. Having said that.. The set in my carrier is a fully working trans/receiver. But as I haven't got a license... I wouldn't dream of switching it on. Ron

I refer of course to the UK.

Ron the pictures are what I am after but I can not read the settings for the switches on the intercom box. Could you get a closer shot or just let me know what they say. I would also appreciate some measurements of the box itself namely width and depth since it is square.


Cheers!!

Well after some research, this is how I mounted mine in my MK2. The MK1 instalation is lengthways on the track guard. Ron
