They are one of two groups who maintain
a Yahoo Group site, as well. There are
member-enthusiasts who would be
interested in restoring this set, so
please contact them. (I had a Mk II as
a teenager, and loved the challenge of
operating 40 mtr CW with it. There's
also a 220Mhz AM transceiver built into
it for tank-to-tank communications! It's
the upper-left section with the
double-capped tube.)

I looked at the site. The login requirements seemed a little silly
given that the information is available elsewhere on the web with no
restriction. They might have 'better' or more complete documents; but a
cursory glance across several google links indicates anything needed for
the OP's purposes is freely available elsewhere.

It depends on what you actually need. Some of the information is
available elsewhere, but that site covers a lot more than just
the WS19.

The login requirements are there in an attempt to deter the freeloaders
who sell CD "collections" of manuals on eBay. A lot of work has gone
into that particular archive. (Scanning and cleaning up old documents
is a very time-consuming process, not to mention the problems and
expense of getting the original manuals to begin with.)

Chris.

Check out a few other resources. I didn't notice a single important
document on that site not available for free elsewhere. In any case,
the OP was only interested to the point where he could find someone to
take it off his hands, for price of shipping (probably a considerable
sum these days).

seems to be the cheapest for stuff like this.

I can't imagine that nobody has taken you up on this offer yet.
In that unlikely event, I certainly will. My posting e-mail address

BTW. On recent trip to the Middle East met someone who said they have
a complete WS19 kit except for (I think he said the 'variometer'!) but
including power supply etc. Also understood that he might be
interested in selling it. Don't know which mark of WS19 it is; since
it is 'back home' in Canada; probably a Mark II?
I can probably re-establish contact with him through a relative also
working in the Middle East. Let me know if anyone interested.

About 5 or 6 months ago, an unused MK
II, complete with spares and mounting
hardware for a Sherman tank went for
about $500 plus shipping from the UK to
US. Heavy weight.
