Default WS 19 query

guys this seems a dumb question but here goes.

what dates did they change Mk for the sets for the 19 set, my pal has a working Mk3 set but its no point me telling him to hold it for me if its wrong for my carrier ?

anyone able to advise ?

secondly can you use throat mic's with this set ?


Cheers

Richie

I think the MK III's were first produced around 1943. Honestly I would stay with the MK III, the PSU is quieter and a better set overall. You won't get the loud humming noise with the MK III And really the only difference you will see is the PSU power to set is a 12 pin instead of the 6 pin used on MK I and II's. And the label that says MKIII/date.

I have not seen any type of throat mic with 19 sets, I collect 19 sets/ancillaries and have never came across a throat mic for them.

Most of the throat mics are with portable small sets, 38 set etc.

ah right he wants 50 quid for the set but it has been butchered inside modernised somewhat so it may take some doing to get it back to correct specification.

Unless you're licensed to use it, a cosmetically correct set is fine for display. Who opens it up to look inside? Also what era are you portraying. Dunkirk & post would be WS11. WS19 MKII from 1942 until replaced mid 1943 with the MKIII.

MKII power supplies & dogbones are getting hard to find. The cables & control units are interchangeable between sets.

What are you getting for 50 quid? If the front panel looks original (no added holes or bits) the price is good.
It's worth getting even for trading material.
