It sounds like you guys could strip a 19 set down and re assemble it with a blind fold on, but many people here, have no idea what one is.
To quote Tony Smith (either one) "This thread is is no good without (permanent) pictures"
Chris and I have a very strong interest in military comms so we focus on that. It's no different from people here who can tell a Ford axle from a Chevy one at 100 yards on a foggy day.

There are several resources in print that can help. For Canadian WS19 stuff document 3834, F226 on the VMARS site ( http://www.vmarsmanuals.co.uk/archive/files_index.htm ) gives a pictorial breakdown and lists part numbers. We've mentioned a series of books called "Wireless for the Warrior" which covers just about all WW1, WW2 & post war wireless sets. Not cheap but a must have for the game.

If you are a member of the WS19 group here in the UK you'll find a wealth of documents. You must belong (free) to download.
