Gentlemen, After a week and a half I have pieced together a bit more info on the machine that I need a manual for. I have a Johnson Desk Side Base Station # 242-4573. It was converted into a repeater for use by the CAP. It uses a a home brew controller which I may replace. Xtals are another issue, they appear to be the plain old generic HC-25 style, but I may be wrong. Johnson offered a TXCO for this unit but it was never opted for. In summary I need a manual ,any helpful info, an economical source for new xtals, and one cabinet lock and key. I presently have two machines (one Micor and one Mastr II) on the air now, thanks every one on RB, especially Kevin and Scott. Any help on thi project will be greatly appreciated. EF Johnson Info seems to be scarce. de Lee K4LJP 73 On Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 1:28 PM, Lee Pennington <[email protected]>wrote:
