WS19 variometer seating plate
Hi,
I am needing to make up a seating plate for my variometer, could someone kindly supply me with the dimensions? I estimate that it is about 6" long by 4" wide - does that sound about right? Also is this a flat plate or are the long edges turned up a bit to add support to the packing block I am then going to have to make up the packing block - any idea what material I should use? Plastic? Any help or advice would be much appreciated.Thank you. All the best, Kevin. |

Kevin,
May not help you much but attached is a photo of a plate I sold on ebay several years ago. A wise move to make your own, mine sold for more than the WS19 that I auctioned at the same time! Cheers Roger |

Re: WS19 variometer seating plate
I have a drawing I made of the curved Ebonite/Bakelite block with measurements noted but I moved house recently and it's still in storage. In a month's time I can help if you're not in too much of a hurry.
It measures about 5" x 3" from memory. Jim |

Re: WS19 variometer seating plate
Hi Guys,
Thanks for your replies. Roger - It has surprised me just how expensive the ancillary bits and pieces are, so if I can make them I will! Jim - If you could let me have the measurements, when you are sorted, that would be much appreciated. Thank you. All the best, Kevin. |
