[AMRadio] EF Johnson museum

[Peter Markavage]

Johnson Thunderbolt II circa 1965. Johnson had the product made by an
outside manufacturer or it was a relabeled existing design . I have the
product brochure here in the files.

> I'm happy to see a "reasonably complete" display like this, in

> on 
> display.
