They are made by Canadian Marconi. The bases are stamped "Marconi" with a C/|\ and the sides are marked "made in Canada". Most have dates codes of July 1941 to October 1941. They have that spray on grey coating that is beginning to flake off.

OK .. yes the grey coating is there in lieu of the metal cage or shield that is normally used in many radios. Isn't it called a Faraday shield or something ... it prevents the stray capacity field from affecting other components in the immediate vicinity... coupling .

The British 22 and 62 sets has the same coating on the tubes... it tends to flake off .

Sounds like the signals forum is happening !

On the subject of wireless installations, here is the WS19 in my MK2. I'm open to criticism ! I'll only sulk for a short time. I also came across this bag of P clips a long time ago. I guess one day I'll work out where they all go?
Any polite suggestions? Ron

There is no hope for your W/T installation. Sulk if you like, but the only remedy is to ship the wireless set, together with the attached carrier to me. All kidding aside, great job. It looks right out of the manual and very nice. As a counterpoint, I'll throw up this worn-out and over used picture of the W/T 19 Mk.II installation in by old beast. Will post one of the 11 set installed once I get off my arse and install it.

Yesterday picked up an original brass mast base with the cast grooves for the toothed mounting.

One less part to find or have made by Nigel

someone up above must want this carrier to come back together again...

Cheers

Well, are we going to see it or are you holding us all in suspense deliberately

As Tony is always reminding us

this thread is useless without pictures

The aerial mount on the left in your picture. What is it called, and where do I get one please.

Ron, in my UC-F1 manual it shows you where they all go, would you like me to photograph the pages ?

Thanks for the offer Richard. I have loads of books and manuals on the carriers. That's why I was intrigued by Bruce's comment. As I said I probably misunderstood what he meant?? Ron
