EF Johnson Ranger I

Amateur Radio > Vintage Transmitters
This Ranger came from Ebay.  It is in nice, nearly original, unmolested condition.  It is a factory-wired example which is a plus.  The original Johnson microphone plug has been replaced by a 1/4" plug.  The original will be re-installed.  The only intended mod is a PTT relay board from D-Lab (N6TLU).  It does work on all bands , but power output is low.  Also, there is a slight ripple in the signal which indicates the need for new filter capacitors.

I may do a light airbrush restoration on the front panel.  Most of the white indicators in the knobs are missing; these will be replaced shortly.
