Chairside versions of model 19 (19LZ and 19LZX) could have two bands (AM and police/aircraft) and four knobs, or could be AM only with three knobs.
Most 19LZ and 19LZX sets found are AM only (3-knob). 19LZ and 19LZX sets exist with AM and police/aircraft bands (4-knob), but appear to be very rare compared to the AM-only versions. I've seen several of the AM-only versions but never a two-band version of either one. I think the late Bob (Joybird) had a 19LZX with two bands.
Two band 19LZ and 19LZX (4-knob) sets are late production models.
The 19LZ had a built-in speaker.
The 19LZX had a separate speaker cabinet connected to the chairside cabinet by a 25 foot multi-conductor flat cable that is now unobtainium.
