Johnson 323A Messenger Repairs

 This is a Johnson Messenger 323A. A friend had this stored away, then wanted it repaired after a long break from use. It was unbelievably clean, in the original box, was in the original plastic bag with no scratches, etc. The mic head had been removed for some reason, and there was no rf output. 

I repaired the mic, troubleshot and replaced the RF final, reconnected the modulation limiter, and gave it a full alignment. This is like a new radio, a time capsule back to about 1976 :-)
