I plan to built several coax cables for my 19 set using the original Pye coax connectors.

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards.

The problem here (one of the many problems) is that nearly 80 years have passed since the original cable was devised, plus the connectors were intended as a "quick disconnect" for equipment replacement and have no designed impedance, and you can then add in production changes and metrication to the mix.

As a starting point, I'd suggest Uniradio 67 (RG-213), but be warned that the dimensions have changed over the years and it's no longer 0.45" o.d. but 0.405" and you may need to sleeve it with tape.

I'll have a further rummage and see if I can find a better match, but one may no longer exist.

Chris.
