Wireless Set No.19 Canadian installation DML Jeep
This is a Panzerwerks Wireless Set No.19 upgrade and start of a Signals jeep armed with a No.19 Set.
The No. 19 wasn't the best radio produced by the Allies yet it was rugged and more or less reliable and it sure was the one they made lots of. Which is why today it is still popular as a Ham radio set.
As with most things WW2 there is not a definitive version on the No.19, it was produced from start to finish of the war so there are numerous Models and Mk's for all components as well as additional new components as the war progressed.
Some Wireless Sets No.19.
Mk3 ZA 10479 Ser. No. 599
Mk III ZA 10479 SERIAL No. 101936
Various sets many different colours, some in Transit Cases.
Mk III Canadian_512885
The last two are pretty much the same as the Panzerwerks WS No.19.
The Sets were accessible from the front by removing four screws in the corners, the face then slid out as a tray. The backs of all box components are clear, all wiring is connected on the front panels.
From above.
This photo is basically what I'm building, No.19 Set and Power Supply Unit on a Carrier Set No.21 with Shock Absorbers.
19 Set, PCU, Carrier Mount.
Panzerwerks WS No.19 reworked to fit into a case made of brass and aluminum. The brass was cut into a pattern, heated cherry red, cooled slowly, clamped into a pattern and the indents were pressed in. Some bending and deformations resulted that lead to some surprises later but nothing to significant. The front edge was folded over, in error I folded it out, it should be in, the back edge was was then folded down. The blank was centred on the top so the bends begin from the centre out, they join on the bottom and were soldered. The plates for the fastening straps were added and the back soldered in.
The Carrier Mount as above and below has a removable centre rail so the straps can be fitted. The fit between the rails was quite loose. Lacking any easily understood info I made it to fit the Panzerwerk's Set.
Math is incorrect
Lastly the Power Control Unit is done the same as the 19 Set and is an insert. The holes for the mounting straps are visible.
The straps that secure the parts to the frame are in two sizes one long one short. These will be the next items made.
Pins that hook into the slots, pins are the same but the bracket is different on the outside end and has an adjustment mechanism.
Centre bracket seated and passing between the L rails and under the unit.
Showing pins
Outside bracket with adjuster.
