This is a 1964 E.F. Johnson Messenger III and matching piggyback power supply I picked up at a yard sale. This little classic radio was in sad shape.. very dirty, mic cord and mic shot, full of bad caps, some off frequency crystals, etc. I gave it a good cleanup, serviced the switches and controls, recapped the radio and power supply, and gave it an alignment. She now works like new and is relaxing in my collection. Here's a vid and some pics...
This is a Yaesu FT-101ZD I repaired for a friend on the west coast (Ca.). He purchased an extremely clean rig from someone, but it was heavily damaged in transit. The VFO knob and its coaxial reduction shaft pair was bent, several other controls were bent/damaged, knobs broken, the mode switch was broken, and several internal boards were broken. He shipped it to me and I repaired all of this stuff, recapped the rig, and gave it a full alignment. It's now back with the owner and on the air daily. Great radio! Here's a few pics...
This is a TenTec Corsair II station I restored. It was in pretty good shape, just needed a few caps, service the controls, and an alignment. What a beautiful rig!
