1944 C-15A-Wire-5 Restoration

[Grant Bowker]

Looking at your diagram, I would guess that the brackets hook to the front and rear of the wooden carrier in some way and are spaced left-to-right so the carrier can't slide around. This suggests that there has to be some way to release at least one of the hooks (likely a front hook) to get the hooks around the carrier. I don't have one to study so can't help more than that... photos will be welcomed if you do find one to work from.


Looking at the diagrams, the radio, power supply and antenna tuner all look to be a later generation than WS19. I don't know whether the carriers remained the same or changed with the generations of radio.

Those are the post-WW2 mountings for Carrier No.25 with Barry mounts instead of the 'bridge type' shock absorbers. (The set shown is a C12 and the front clamps are wound in and out by a slotted screw below the hook.)

The wartime ones were mostly made from sheet metal. (I have a spare one somewhere (hoping to find a partner for it eventually), and will see if I can find it for measurements, etc.)

First item in the list .

Bolts through the wireless table .

Robert, what is this for, the 19 Mk.III set under the amplifier? If so you need a carrier No.1 (or 21) which is a metal rack with four angles to hold the 19 set and the supply unit (last pic). This carrier has four rubber feet screwed to it to attach it to the table.

The No.23 carrier is the wooden board type with notches in each corner. You need a pair of No.1 carriers (see pics) screwed to the table and these become the quick release mechanisms that clip into those notches on the wooden board. I don't think a 19 set configured this way would fit under the amplifier.

Bruce , that is what i am looking for exactly . The Amplifier set up i am going to use on static display at home . When traveling to meets i am going to go light and have the simpler set up with just a No 19 on the wooden carrier . I need to slide it in and out of the table and box to show it outside to the public . So yes , you nailed it . I will write privately . Thanks .

[Chris Suslowicz]

Yes, those are the original ZA.10316 Carriers, Mounting.

I think they should also have some metal plates with matching holes to prevent the shock absorbers (bridge type) from spreading under the weight of the set.

I have a wrapped example and will try to find it later today. The plates will be easy to make, just a strip with four bolt holes to match the shock absorbers.

(There was another version with more shock mounts (fitted inverted?) for the "stacked" British WS19HP, along with a bracket and mount to clamp the RF amplifier to the wall of the wireless body to prevent the assembly rocking under acceleration/braking that could damage the shock mounts.)
