Somewhere to discuss Wireless/Signals equipment on this site would be a great addition!
Just to clarify the discussion so far, is the intent a fully independent Forum, or simply an addition to this site, such as we now have for Sappers, Gunners? Stikes me that the latter approach would be a heck of a lot simpler for the powers that be to accomplish for us, and it definitely gets my vote! David

Hi Mike.
Ever noticed that whenever one of these vehicular wireless sets (including the 19) are actually in use in a vehicle, there is only one person in the photo, but as soon as it is set up somewhere outside, it suddenly becomes a group photo. I wonder if there is a weight to manpower ratio yet to be discovered in some Sigs Pam somewhere??? David

The coastwatcher radios used up in the SW Pacific Islands required a whole team of native carriers to lug around the AWA teleradio , batteries and ancilleries like the petrol battery charger. This was the downfall of a few coastwatchers when the natives betrayed them to the Japs . Usually it was a execution by beheading . A good read is : "The coastwatchers" by Eric Feldt A brief biography is here: http://www.battlesforguadalcanal.com...ldt/feldt.html

I'd love a good wine, but what I really need is help with figuring out how to add another forum to the main page. If you or anyone else has some spare time to get oneself acquainted with vBulletin, the software this forum runs on, please do and post your findings here. Their forum seems to be a good place to start reading and asking questions. Thanks in advance! Regards, Hanno

Hey all There is a nice Wireless set #62 on ebay right now in Niagrafalls.
It was the replacement for the # 22 but only used late 1944 and 1945 But for anyone looking to kit their vehicle for those war years, Take a look. Oh yeah I was speaking to a seller from the states on Ebay and he has 3 #19 sets coming up for sale as well as misc bits. Just bought a Dynometer from him but missed out on the base! He does ship outside the US just ask. And I also would be interested in a wireless section on MLU. When things calm down on the site for poor Hanno!

Wireless Set No 19 Mk II
I had forgotten about this thread until earlier this evening when I was reading through my newly arrived Fair Radio Catalog WS-11, celebrating their 64th anniversary. Scanning through their Vintage Equipment Section I ran across the above noted items for only $275.00 US. I think it has been nearly 40 years since they last offered this equipment.
They are also offering complete SCR-625 Mine Detectors for the first time in a while and 10-Line British Switchboard Sets complete with manuals. Must have found an old warehouse somewhere.
