This particular crystal calibrator is sold as a collectible for display only, and has not been tested.

NB:

• The fascia and internals of the crystal calibrator have not been modified.
• The connectors have been modified as follows:-
  • In order to power the unit, in the absence of the special dog bone, a lead has been constructed which has the correct (original) 3-pin Jones socket at the calibrator end with a Bulgin Octal 8-pin plug fitted at the other end.
  • The RF output lead has been terminated with a Belling Lee TV coaxial in place of the right angle Pye plug which is a very easy change.
    

It has the following markings stamped on the side panel:-

The wireless set no.19 (WS19) crystal calibrator was made to accompany the Mobile WS19 radio transceiver favoured by Allied armoured troops during WW2- see schematic of a WS19 with red arrow pointing to the calibrator.
