19 set headsets, NOS

chris vickery · #1 13-03-07, 19:10

Just trying to gauge the interest as I have the possibility of sourcing a large number of NOS 19 set headsets.
They will only be available for purchase should I be able to obtain a list of willing buyers.
$50 per pair, NOS, still in wartime wraps plus shipping.
$45ea, 5 or more
supply limited, act fast

What end plug (if any) will these come with? I've seen some headsets built from parts that don't have any cloth covered wires and other with the wires but no plug.

My set is still rigged for the original heavy rubber socket ends that have a male or female triangular connector.

Would be interested in 2-3 sets if they are complete with the plugs.

Rubber connectors as issued

there were several different types of mics for the 19 set. do you know what the Z number is or what mic comes with the assy? I might take 5.

Chris:

I would like to know also just what particular type of mic assy you're offering.

Without me running downstairs to check a reference manual, I think there are about 5, maybe 6 different types.

I you wish, I can look up the different ones and send you the ZA numbers so that you perhaps can cross reference them.

PS...get my letter yet?

Chris,

I would be interested in 2 sets.

Cheers

Update on the headsets;

Marked C^, ZA 1638. They have a round plug, similar to a phono plug with bakelite end.

Other info, receiver, headgear MK1

These are headsets only, no mics.

These came out of a wartime crate and were wrapped in period newspaper from late 1944.

Anyone enlighten me on exactly the usage?

If these have the phonograph pin type plugs, that explains the lack of microphones. Most likely these are headphones worn when receiving morse code which could be done on the 19 sets as well as on fullerphones and other wired stations.

As such, guess I'll pass since they won't work for my applications.

If by phono plug you mean a single plug about 1/4" diameter on the plug part then these are used with the "remote control unit no. 1 cdn". They may also be used with ws52 and other receivers that have the 1/4" phone jack. The 11,19 and 22 sets used rubber snatch plugs on the set proper. Are the earpieces cloth or chamois?

if these are just headphones I would still be interested in a couple.

chris vickery · #10 14-03-07, 21:46

Yes Bruce, 1/4" type jack plug and chamois earpieces.
