[AMRadio] Wanted: Ranger front panel
I'm looking for a Johnson Viking Ranger front panel in good to excellent condition. I have a Ranger here with a pretty lousy looking front panel, and the one I bought off of eBay is not much better. Does anyone have one they might sell? I prefer only the front panel but might consider buying your defunct rig for parts. Has anyone ever tried to repaint a Ranger front panel? I'd like to do it myself if I could not find a replacement in decent condition. Best regards, Gary, K7EK Never miss a thing.

Dee Almqiist (sp?) is yet another alternative, as Dee does the front panels on Johnson gear, as well.

But don't quote me on that;>) Dee has a silk screening process that he does to the front panel of those old johnson rigs. I've seen a couple that he's done, and no doubt, they come out looking better than they did when they were brand new in the 50's and 60's. Somewhere, some hamfest, someone had a Ranger I,, that had a re-finished front panel, and the owner then had the case chrome plated. Looked sharp... but it wasn't 'right' looking if I were going for aesthetics). I think I want to build up a single 6080, or 6SA7... some dual-triode tube with substantial plate dissipation, and then modulate it with a pair of the same. -- Driving your AM Rig without a scope, is like driving your car at night, without headlights.

Re: [AMRadio] Wanted: Ranger front panel
Hi Gary Are you still looking for a panel? If so, I'll send a photo of one I have in storage. If I remember, it is still attached to a stripped chassis. No cabinet. bob...w2ami < http://www.qrz.com/callsign/w2ami> - Original Message - From: "Gary Kohtala" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2008 11:39 PM Subject: [AMRadio] Wanted: Ranger front panel I'm looking for a Johnson Viking Ranger front panel in good to excellent condition.
