S-19R Sky Buddy Photos
 

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:
http://www.antiqueradios.com/gallery...tting.jpg.html

More photos showing two versions at:
http://oak.cats.ohiou.edu/~postr/bapix/S19.html

Another at:
http://www.rigpix.com/hallicrafter/s19r.htm

I'm sure there are many others.

There is a manual at BAMA
