19 inches of vacuum is very good, if the reading is fairly steady it indicates valves and rings in good condition. At this point I'd say that your wiper motor most likely needs rebuilding (use Ficken Wiper Service over on Long Island, NY, it's a former Trico service center), but there is also a remote chance the problem could be excess friction or problems in the cable pulley system. But that's a BEAR to work on, I'd recommend getting motor rebuilt first.
