Hello All,

Just after divesting myself of nearly every radio I had, I
find
myself 'pulled back in'. I have a fellow engineer that
works in our
Germany office, who showed us a very good time when we
were over
there. He is also a collector of radios, and even toured
us around the
amazing historical communications collection at the
'communications
technology institute' he had attended (forgot the name).

He is 'retiring' of sorts; he will be going back to school
for his
PHD and working part time in the company labs. For his
'retirement', a
couple of us here would like to give him a nice old radio.
One of us
found a good Hallicrafters S-19R Sky Buddy.

I am asking for any photos you might have of the Sky
Buddy, inside
and out, closeup, to help get my bearings. Post to the
board, it might
help others in the future - but make 'em as high res. as
possible. I
could really use a shot of the pointer and the speaker.


Thanks,


David Goncalves

A Google search found several sites. Try:
http://www.w9wze.net/Restorations/S19/S19_KB9TMY.htm
This has pictures of the interior and of the tuning
mechanism alone.

There is a good photo of the overall receiver at:

More photos showing two versions at:

Another at:

I'm sure there are many others.

There is a manual at BAMA
