Nice
looking E F Johnson “6N2” six and two-meter VHF transmitter. Front panel is nice with original knobs and
crisp lettering. The little white indicator
pegs are missing from the knobs, as is usually the case. I started to remove the Civil Defense sticker
from the front panel with a hair dryer but decided to leave that decision to
the buyer. Personally, I would keep it
to reflect the history of this unit. The
case needs repainting but there are no dents, dings or extra holes. Also, the final tube is missing (5894A) but
these are available on eBay for a reasonable cost. I have provided photos from all angles along
with photos of the top and bottom of the chassis, so you can see exactly what
you are bidding on.
I
do not have the external power supply, so I was unable to power this unit up. Since this unit uses screws instead of rivets
to secure components to the chassis, it was assembled from a kit. Construction quality looks good.
While
I have described this transmitter as accurately as possible, please note that
vintage tube radio equipment is best enjoyed by those with an understanding of
electronics and the ability/equipment to work on them. This unit is over 60 years old and may
require replacement of some components to get it working to original factory
specs. For this reason, I’m listing this
radio for “parts or not working” per eBay rules which pretty much state that an
item has to be functioning like new to be classified as “used.” This unit also has potentially dangerous
voltages present and only an experienced and qualified person should attempt
any repairs.
Sold
“as is” but guaranteed to be as described.
Please check my feedback. Feel
free to e-mail me with questions. I strive
to provide an accurate description and complete disclosure of the items I list.
If the item does not meet your expectations, please contact me prior to leaving
feedback so that I may address any issues. I make every effort to ship within 1
business day of receiving payment.
I
will use UPS or USPS Ground Advantage for shipping, whichever the buyer
prefers. International bidders are
welcome where eBay’s international shipping program is available. I do not charge for packing and my packing is
second to none. This unit will be double
boxed, and I will use an oversized outer box to minimize the chance of damage in
shipment. Thank you for looking.
