[Milsurplus] WS-19

[J. Forster]

Congratulations. I assume it's US made by Zenith?

There are WS19 fans on the Yahoo Group ArmyRadios, among other laces.

The 6 pin Pye connector for the power supply show up on eBay from time to
time.

The unit is designed to operate with a Control Box...  there are about 20
different types. The CBs connect to the lower (12 pin) connector on the
set and enable several headsets (headgear) to be switched independantly
betwewen 'A', 'B', or I/C intercom.

There are those who will strongly disagree, but you really need the Aerial
Variometer also. Otherwise the set has spur issues. The Variometer series
resonates the antenna.

 By FAR the best general reference on the WS19 is 'Wireless for the
Warrior, Vol 2'. Louis Meulstee has a web site also.

You should also look on-line for the 'Working Instructions'

If ypou really get into the set, the EMERS are very helpful. There is also
a lot of useful info on the VMARSmanuals site in the UK.

There is another site that has a lot of info too, but access is
complicated, pickey, and subject to the Owners whims. I cannot access
several hundred of MY manuals there any more.

I'll send you a pic of one of my stations, off-list, later.

Best,

-John
