Repair Johnson Ranger II tube type Ham Radio Transmitter Numerous problems Hacked by the Kobbler

Yep, I was hacked by a Kobbler. Purchased this Ranger from a local Ham. Advertised as a 9, plug & go condition. Well, as you can see this is not the case. Another victim of poor craftsmanship. Many indications of tinkering. Adding audio mods, that the Johnson engineers never thought of. Yes, I was disappointed, however realize that these old radios are 60 years old. Many have dabbled, tweeked, added their magic! So, no real surprise. I do not plan to contact the previous owner with my findings, that would just generate bad feelings. Lucky for me, this was a great experience and opportunity to present for you! I will not make a dime on this transmitter, However lesson learned again, Dont judge a book by its cover! Haha, TD Note: The Kobbler was under the influence of a bottle at the end. It had nothing to do with me. I am an innocent bystander. Of course, it was fun to watch!
