[Johnson] Newcomer to the List

[Tony Martin W4FOA]

Dennis,
You've got a fun combination.  I used the Adventurer/Drake 2B combo for two 
years as EL2AD in 1963-65.  Had a Heath VF-1 VFO when I needed to move 
around.  The Adventurer is practically indestructable, just like the 2B. 
Still have both units.

Good morning!

I've recently acquired a Viking Adventurer off the e-place.  From the date 
codes on the tubes (two of them are original marked "made for E.F.Johnson by 
RCA") the unit was packaged and sold some time in 1961.  I intend to go 
completely through it and put it back in service.  Does anyone on the list 
have any experiences with this neat little transmitter that I need to pay 
attention to.  I want to set it up with my Drake 2-B as a CW station. 
Looking forward to your replies.

73's,
