Detail of PT-19 Pitot Probe

Mon Feb 10, 2014 3:17 pm

Hi All
I am restoring a 1943 Fairchild F24R46 military version: UC-61K USAAF S/N 43-14964 , RAF S/N HB-690 Argus III. It has the same type of Pitot Tube as the Fairchild PT-19/23/26. It was manufactured by Kollsman, but I can not locate a part number or model number. I am having a great difficulty finding a new or serviceable unit for sale or trade.
Can someone out there in Warbird land takes some detail pictures of a PT-19 Pitot tube for me? I may need to get one manufactured.

I have a picture of the Pitot I need from a UC-61 in a museum. PM and I'll send it over
thanks
