RCA 19 set

[Bruce MacMillan]

The box on top is a Fullerphone, not used with a ws19. The headset & mic look to be from a remote control unit as they are separated items. The aerial is from something else.

On the plus side it looks to be a fairly good truck setup. The handles allow for dismount use. All the basics are there such as control box, variometer, cables and most important, the grills. They can be pricey themselves.

As suggested it's not something you can pop into the mail. P/U will restrict buyers. Perhaps attend a local militaria show and bring it along. Having sat for a time it will need some care in powering up.

Have a look at ebay sold prices. They can give you an idea of value but usually at the higher end.

Don't even think about applying power to the power supply or the radio as the electrolyte paper capacitors have a nasty habit of drying out. which can short out and all the magic smoke will disappear making the radio a boat anchor.
The capacitors might be able to be reformed or possibly be replaced to bring the radio back to life.
Here is a list of the parts that would finish the radio.

Easy to find items.
2 headsets No. 8 or 10
breast plate for mic
Lamp operator no 6
Key and plug assy no 9
aerial base no 9 za 10322
aerial rod G
Aerial rods F
Aerial dummy za/can 0677
Case spare valves
Case spare parts
Connector coax set a/b # 10/11

Hard or impossible to find parts
Water proof cover for no 23 base (getting hard to find)
grommet rubber no 23 for F rod (Ultra rare)
cover variometer no 16 (very rare)
Battery boxes, original's near impossible to find but repros are being made.

Thanks for the information. I will not fire this up as I am not a radio tech type.
I want to sell it to a good home where it will get checked out and
used.
Thanks Terry

Found the pics. Somewhere I have a drawing I did of the grommet, will look for it.

[Tim Bell]

Ohh.... that's what they are for!

I need to do some digging... I did have something like that once.

Grommets No.23, I think.

I could do with one for my setup if you find any.
