Default Re: Another 19 set rebuild

Just a heads up, the microphone element was more or less open circuit (same as the phones) and unrepairable despite my best efforts to resolder the uber thin wires from the coil. I reluctantly took a spare mic element from a clansman speaker/mic lead which I had put aside for "spares" as the cable covering from it had totally disintegrated and I had purchased another one complete...
So in the google folder above I put the photos of the fix for anyone's curiosity. Was tempted to by a few scrap mics for the sake of the element but decided Id end up having to do a repair at later stage.Decided practicality over another 1943 era mic element.

Ive a list of capacitors and thanks again for advice as to what to replace on site. I have a DMM with capacitance range so it will be interesting to actual state of this radio as its never been serviced. Will follow up as things progress slowly (in between work ofc)..73s David
