I think the MK III's were first produced around 1943. Honestly I would stay with the MK III, the PSU is quieter and a better set overall. You won't get the loud humming noise with the MK III
 And really the only difference you will see is the PSU power to set is a 12 pin instead of the 6 pin used on MK I and II's. And the label that says MKIII/date.I have not seen any type of throat mic with 19 sets, I collect 19 sets/ancillaries and have never came across a throat mic for them. Most of the throat mics are with portable small sets, 38 set etc.

ah right he wants 50 quid for the set but it has been butchered inside modernised somewhat so it may take some doing to get it back to correct specification.

Unless you're licensed to use it, a cosmetically correct set is fine for display. Who opens it up to look inside? Also what era are you portraying. Dunkirk & post would be WS11. WS19 MKII from 1942 until replaced mid 1943 with the MKIII.
MKII power supplies & dogbones are getting hard to find. The cables & control units are interchangeable between sets. What are you getting for 50 quid? If the front panel looks original (no added holes or bits) the price is good. It's worth getting even for trading material.

The chances of finding an earlier mark are probably also next to zero.
The examples which have been rebuilt post-war using plastic coated wiring are also best for reliability. Very few carriers would have been fitted with radio any how.

yeah i will give him a bell. its the main set and the power unit however the power unit is home made it has a few plugs removed and modernised but he has the originals to go back on. my grandads fighting era was from 1942 - 45 prior to that he was training in callender Scotland whilst his regiment were reforming after the dunkirk fiasco. the carrier will be painted desert scheme post 42... to be specific its a late tunisian scheme which was carried over into Op Husky very similar to Nigel Watsons carrier but rather than the red terracotta disruptive it will be black / dark brown.......... so datewise looking late 42 into 43
 i would like the crew to be able to talk to the driver (moi) using the set if possible. Iam going around to his later so will take some pics of it for you guys. Cheers Richie

WS19 website
Richard,
Check out this website: www.royalsignals.org.uk. It has a lot of info on WS19 sets. BTW, I'm looking for text plates that go on the front of the PSU. I have got Italian on now and would like English text. My PSU is the late bulge type. I forgot the MK. Anybody got these for sale? Cheers,
