Ok big vat of rubber arrived today, along with my other materials.
Those that want bases, please email me at richard_sarah181105@btinternet.com What I need on the email is Name, Address, working or none working reproduction. I can tell you at present I only have 4 PYE connectors all without the catch bars, but I am working on getting some more. £85 for none working and £105 for a working reproduction Cheers Richie

Pye connectors
I can probably scrounge up a few from the "bits box", but they will all have the straight retaining clip for the elbow socket; you'll have to make your own 'horseshoe' clips for the straight sockets, I'm afraid,
Chris.

Cheers Chris, I can probably make the horse shoe bar from narrow gauge piano wire.

Progress continues, Shaun this is yours I am just completing ! Original is on the green post. I still need to spin the base down a touch, drill the mounting holes and put the top bolts in. The flashing on the rubber can be picked off in minutes, but Bens original pattern had the flashing left on so I have left alone.
Those that took the time to contact me via email, if you could paypal me the funds (friends and family) I would appreciate it I have a number of rubbers due out of the moulds in the next few days, I have to let them cure fully before I can machine them etc.. It's time consuming !! But I am on the case. Cheers Richie

Just an update folks... Work continues at a slow pace.. I know how Nigel ward felt when he did the brackets now !
Here we have Lauren's working repro, due out in the post as soon as I have tested the circuit from connector to antenna slot. Bear with me, these have been more of a twat to reproduce than I ever imagined !!

B-Set usage
It's probably been mentioned before, but the B Set portion of the 19-Set operates on a fixed frequency, which back in the 1940's, was a wide open frequency. Today, that frequency is smack in the middle of commercial aviation traffic and off limits, even with an amateur radio permit.
Yes, you can squeeze the coil inside the set to change the basic frequency, but the B-Set puts out such a dirty signal (including an FM component), it is not worth the risk. The aviation world is jumpy enough now, without them detecting weird radio signals from a very old radio and wondering what's afoot. If you want to have an intact B-Set in your 19-Set, fill it with dead valves. It will look great but do nothing harmful if accidentally turned on, and the main set and I/C will still operate. David

Update.
Ian and Lauren your bases have been dispatched, I will catch up with you both reference postage costs, but no rush (I am on nightshifts) John yours are boxed awaiting postage quotes, I have another pair going to Canada at the same time, shown below..... These are a pair of repair jobs done on originals. Both fully functional now ! So if you have brittle B set bases lying around then don't chuck them, they can be repaired ! And Eric yours are in the moulds as I type
