    Description

    A CLASSIC FROM JOHNSON -- THE ORIGINAL MESSENGER
    NO RESERVE
    BEAUTIFUL CONDITION -- AND IT WORKS
    YOU WILL NEED TO LOOK A LONG TIME TO FIND ONE NICER
    COVERS CB BAND BUT CAN EASILY BE CONVERTED TO 10 METERS
    IT WORKS OR YOU RETURN IT
    HERE'S AN OLDIE BY EF JOHNSON -- THEIR FIRST CB UNIT INTRODUCED IN THE LATE '50'S.  WHILE A TON OF MANUFACTURERS MADE CB UNITS, JOHNSON WAS ALWAYS CONSIDERED THE CADILLAC.  THEY WERE MADE WELL AND WORKED GREAT.
    THIS ONE IS BEAUTIFUL.  A FEW VERY MINOR CHIPS ON THE CABINET BUT VERY NICE.  CABINET IS TRUE AND STRAIGHT.  NO REAL DINGS/DENTS/ETC.
    THE CHASSIS IS BRIGHT AND SHINY.  THE FRONT FACE IS GREAT.  THE CHROME HAS NO SCRATCHES OR PITTING.  I SUSPECT THIS RIG HAS BEEN SITTING IN A BOX FOR MANY YEARS, BUT OBVIOUSLY CANNOT VERIFY THAT.  I FOUND NO MYSTERY WIRES, HOLES OR PARTS.
    ALL KNOBS TURN SMOOTHLY. THE SQUELCH WORKS, THE VOLUME WORKS, AND THE "ON" AND "TRANSMIT" LIGHTS WORK.  ALL IN ALL IT WORKS.
    BROUGHT UP ON VARIAC, DUSTED IT OFF A BIT AND IT CAME TO LIFE.  GOT OUTPUT ON ALL THREE CRYSTALS AS WELL AS RECEIVE.  CHECK OUT MY "WATTMETER" PICTURE. IT HAS CHANNELS 1, 9, AND 11 INSTALLED. CRYSTALS ARE STILL READILY AVAILABLE ON LINE.
    THIS ONE STILL HAS THE 12 VOLT VIBRATOR.  I HAVE NO IDEA IF IT WORKS OR NOT.  INCLUDED IS A 110 VOLT POWER CORD -- NOT ORIGINAL, BUT IT WORKS.
    YOU WILL NEED TO LOOK A LONG LONG TIME TO FIND ONE NICER.
    NO RESERVE.
    QUESTIONS?  JUST ASK.

    I JUST RECEIVED WORD THAT A FAMILY EMERGENCY REQUIRES THAT I BE OUT OF TOWN FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK.  IF YOU ARE THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER ON THIS ITEM, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SHIP IT UNTIL THIS WEEKEND.  IF THAT IS NOT SATISFACTORY, I WILL GIVE YOU A FULL REFUND.
    SORRY ABOUT THE ISSUE, BUT I'LL TRY TO ACCOMODATE THE WINNER AS BEST POSSIBLE.
