Many years ago I bought a Navigator. The previous owner had begun a complete restoration. He got as far as removing all the parts from the chassis. With good intentions, I had the cabinet stripped, primed and painted by a W4 who was well known for his Johnson paint work. He also did the VFO escutcheon and silk screened it and supplied a new gasket. I also had the front panel resilkscreened. The chassis was also refinished to remove discolorations and scratch marks. That is as far as I got. It is time to turn this project over to someone who will finish it. In addition to the parts and original manual, I also have a Drake meter that is identical to the Johnson. I believe I also have the artwork for the meter face. You may have to supply some of the hardware- screws, nuts etc.
So, a project for someone who has the time and inclination to build a Navigator that will be as good or better than factory new. Pix available.
$230 includes UPS shipping.
