Hi, I'm restoring a Johnson Ranger and I'd like to buy a main tuning knob.
The original knob has a big chunk out of it. This knob is approximately
2.25" diameter.
I just finished recapping all the electrolytics and wax paper capacitors
last night, cleaned out the dry grease and re-lubricated the vernier,
replaced the 18K OA2 current limit resistor, and just slipped the front
panel back on. I just fired it up and the cw signal sounds stable so the
chirp is gone, and it's putting out 45 watts. Nice. I haven't tried AM
yet.
I'm going to pair it up with the Drake 2B and 2BQ. Let me know if you have
the Johnson main tuning knob available for my restoration. Thanks! 73,
Scott WA9WFA
