That's a nice looking 19. They are a handful in a blow but ripping fast! 
You can find most parts here:

You've owned boats in the past so the cost shouldn't surprise you.
If she doesn't have the updated main halyard rig, you'll want one of those.
Check the attachment of the rigging tangs on the hulls. 
Reseal all the fittings on the mast. 
Go through the rudders. you might have to fill and re-drill the pivot holes. Get new swivel kits for the tiller crossbar.
Open up the cross beams and check for corrosion on the half-moon blocks.
If she has the old style wire rope traveler that's worth changing.
It's probably worth it just to go ahead and replace the standing rigging. Check the pigtail between the mast hound and swivel for the jib furler. 
How are the sails? 
Check the daggerboard wells closely. If she was run aground you could have leaks in there.
Re-bed the hull drain plug fittings.
Feel free to PM me. I sail with a couple of 19 owners.<em>Edited by gahamby on May 04, 2021 - 02:30 PM.</em> [/quote]
