  1. Good morning everybody, i wonder if any of you could give me a rough guide price for these 2 No 19 sets please. I have had 1 set since the early 80s and the second was bought in the late 80s or early 90s. Both appear to be complete and were believed working at the time of purchase. I had planned owning a British vehicle to mount one of them in but i am now at the stage where i am reducing the number of vehicles so i doubt i will use them. Thankyou, regards David.

    Hi

     

    As this is a truly ancient post, you've probably long since sold these sets. If not, I would be interested. Are they still for sale?

  2. I've got a copy of the Army Code No. 13954 Radio Repair handbook, and my trailer matches, but is missing a few bits and pieces, 1 set of drawers, a TUAM box and an aerial side arm-but they'll be easy to get(the test kit might take a little longer). (I'll look out for the other handbook's).

    The illustration's are tantalising, but lack detail in some areas.( battery clamp's etc) The other thing I'm wondering (read hoping) is if it might have been used as a triffid relay trailer in the 80's. I'll try to get a history search done for the registration, but I found a form for a "unit feeding strength state" marked september 1988 in the sand pocket of the tent, and a label for 36 Sig reg (a TA unit) with triffid stamped on it, in one of the lockers( as well as a couple of sand bags from a .22 firing range :?).

    I know a lot of these trailors have been released after they were transfered to the RAF for battle damage repair etc, but mine seem's to have stuck with the army, well into the clansman era.

    I think that half the fun of this hobby is the research, and finding those elusive bits and pieces, so this should keep me happy for quiet a while.

    Cheers for the info.

    Matt :-)

    I was in 36 Signal Regiment briefly (1984/1985), leaving just before we made the changeover from C41s to Triffid. Kept in touch with a couple of guys for a year or two after leaving, and I know they got Triffid in about 1986, so that would fit.
