Wanted: WS19 No3 control unit

[Russell Boaler]

Thanks Bruce. Attached is a picture of the ID plate on the WS19 that I'm going to use. I'm no expert in WS19's (would barely even qualify as a novice I suspect) so am not sure if you can deduce the country of manufacture from it.

Here in NZ most of our defense force equipment used in WW2 was sourced from our Commonwealth friends an beyond. I've seen a variety of different WS19 sets (Mk's, colours etc) so presumably we took whatever we could get whenever we could get it. This isn't the original radio, that was gone well before I purchased the DAC, but a Mk2 WS19 is the correct radio for a Mk2 DAC.

There are no other fixing points on the turret for securing of the radio equipment. I suspect/believe that the remote control unit was mounted on a plate that was secured to the turret using the bolts associated with the radio armoured wiring outlet. I'm starting to think that the Variometer may have been re-positioned slightly on the later DAC's to create a bit of space....
