Me 19 in me tank.

My main reason for pushing the 19 is that I have more
hope of assisting Ewan with one of them than with a No 11
I have sets with different colored front panels and different shaped meters that seem to cover the whole period . I purchased my sets from the late sixties until the late seventies from all over. I havnt had problems with different arrangements of different valves.

That 19 set in your tank appears to have the post war leads fitted .The wartime leads had a heavy braided sleeve .

I believe the 19 set was kept in production after the war . I have unboxed a brand new 19 set , never issued , what is interesting is, the B set was never fitted to this new set . The B set section was just blanked off .

I do have a Royal Armoured Corps manual dated 1963. The 19 set is detailed in the manual along with the C42 set . Mike

They are late production leads Mike,

The radio is operational and we used it to communicate inside the tank and to an escort vehicle.
I chose the most reliable components I had after having lots of trouble with connections paper capacitors etc. Pragmatic choices for reliability.

We are heading down the road of modern motorbike helmet intercoms and handhelds. Mobile phones have taken away much of the need to have the 19 operational . Its a fun thing to do but given all of the other chores maintaining the tanks having fully functional original radios is a little way down the list.

replacing the existing set with a radio with a 1943 make date will happen in time .
