Johnson Invader 2000
|
Hi Jim, I bought the Invader about a year ago and it sat on the bench and the supply (a hand full) under the bench on a roller dolly. I recently got motivated to participate in the coming AWA AM event, so got busy checking out my B&W 5100B, complete the restoration of my Globe King 500C and checking out the Invader 2000. I've corrected several issues such as replacing cracked final coupling caps and a few minor issues. This unit is extremely clean and has the original manual (serial number 10).? I've got some rather poor pictures but will take some better ones that can be posted on the group thing I am working one problem right now. The scale display is driven by a steel leader coming out of the lower chassis area and has apparently slipped off a pully or idler because it doesn't change properly with the band change control which works properly. I'll attach a few low resolution pics with more to follow. Tom N5AMA ?

Hi Tom I was asking about the Invader 2000.? I don't really have anything to trade except for a non-working?Porsche 944S and green stamps,?and I'm tapped out on green stamps for this month. What condition is it in?? Is it working now (as in, you could have voice QSOs on AM and SSB today)? Can you email me pix?? Of course, it's likely that a lot of people on this group haven't ever seen an Invader 2000, so it might be fun to put the pix where everybody can see them. 73 Jim N6OTQ On Fri, Aug 25, 2023 at 9:26?PM Tom Smith <n5ama@...> wrote: Someone was advertising for an Invader 2000 awhile back. I have one and will considering selling it or trading for a nice Johnson 500. It's in very nice cosmetic condition and works. |

Hi Jim, I took some additional pics of my Invader 2000 while I was doing some repairs and applying a little Deoxid. I've got some better images than what is posted on a earlier post. I've resized the images so I'm not sure how crisp they will display but I can resize them to a larger file size if needed. I've included a few with the skin on but have more with the skin removed if anyone in is interested.
Thanks Tom N5AMA |
