WS 19 set



This transceiver from WWII is aquired at a Hamfest in Rosmalen.
There was no meter in it and the final tube 807 was missing, but for the rest it was quite complete.
To get the receiver going was more difficult that i initally thought.
Here is a list of what was wrong or missing :
The wiring of the filaments was completely wrong. Someone probably tried to wire is to 6.3V .
The primary winding of the audio transformer was broken. This is a special transformer and by placing a second transformer in parallel is works.
The cathode capacitor of the audio ampklifier was broken. There is now a new capacitor in the old housing.
The cathode resistor of the second IF amplifier was missing .
The resistors in the AGC circuit where missing , so the AGC voltage was floating.
Adjustment.
The meter was missing. It is replaced by another meter with the same dimentions. The sensitivity of the new meter was different.

After repair there was again reception in the highest band.
The low band also worked after connecting some loos hanging capacitors.
Transmitting is also possible after replacement of some trimmer capacitors.
This is the state in which i got him :

This is how he looks inside:

I bought a second WS19 for parts.
This one had some additional knobs.
