Picked up bunch of 19 Set stuff

[cletrac (RIP)]

I'm glad I was the first to notice this bunch of 19 set stuff for sale on the forum. I went out to Calgary the other day and picked it all up and with a few detours I ended up putting on almost 1000 miles before I got home.
The MkII and one of the MKIIIs look like they'll likely work and the other MkIII looks like parts. He said they all light up and make static noise. I already had a good MkII so now it looks like I'll have a spare. I want one for the C8 and one for the Carrier when I get around to it.
I now have 5 of the No 1 remotes and I likely only need 2 to put in the radio truck. I doubt the Carrier would have carried them.
Now as to the 19 sets, is there much difference between the MkII and the MkIII? When I've seen listings of the two models together they always want more for the MkIII.
Hanno, you can delete this post on the other thread.

that is a nice haul

I can see two Mk3 power supplies in there , they have the 12 pin socket . the mk2 has a 6 pin socket .

The mk 3 is easier to run as it draws less current if you just want to listen .

I got this Crystal Calibrator off ebay for $65. They usually go for $150 or more but there was only one other person interested in this one. There sure a lot of bits to gather up to have a complete 19 set.

Abyss..................what abyss?

Tank installations Churchill, Sherman, Cromwell, Comet, and Russian.
Armoured Car installations Lynx, Fox, M3
Carriers
Jeep
C15TA
Ground Station
Radio Truck
ACP
Etc., etc..
Every one different other than Installation Kit 1 which was common to all.

And the RCU's were used with a carrier, also include a spool of cable and batteries, the remote meant you could park the carrier under cover and use the 19 Set from a distance.(1/4-1 mile??) Always a good idea when someone is shooting at you. Both had to be attended.

The remotes say if you're more than 3 miles from the radio you have to use heavier gauge wire.

There are a lot of little differences, usually things added to the later Mk.III. The biggest difference is that the Mk.II has a noisy electric motor providing the required voltages and it runs all the time. The Mk.III has the same noisy motor that kicks in when you transmit or need it but otherwise runs on a quietly humming vibrator.

I believe the British made Mk111 power supply has two small genemotors , one for receive and one for transmit , these are mounted one above the other .

I did have a Canadian Mk111 power unit with the vibrator unit for receive mode , it had the 12 pin socket

I just got this mount setup off ebay for $100. It even has the canvas insulating pads. Sounded like a really good deal.

[Robert Bergeron]

Friend,

It is a very good deal .

[David Dunlop]

Nice find getting the carriers with the canvas hold down straps. Your challenge now will be to find the two locking clips for the ends of the straps. An item somebody definitely needs to reproduce these days. Sigh!

I spotted that too . I also saw a canvas cover but rather pricey , was it the same seller ?

Andrew T in Adelaide here made some of the strap clips . I got rid of all my 19 set stuff .......... too many projects , too many radios too many vehicles Mike

[cletrac (RIP)]

You mean these clips? They come with it

[Dean (Ajax)]

I have a Mk 3 and power unit for sale right now, comes with the dog bone.
It worked about 5 years ago until the older fellow sold it as he was moving into a much smaller place and had no room for it. I bought it for the wash board base. It has been sitting in my basement for about 3 years now.
I also have other 19 set parts.

If anyone is interested email me at northman@rogers.com

Yes that's them. Andrew made up a few , he had the dies made , they turned out Ok but not as good as the originals . He didnt have a press , he used a manual "armstrong" method .
