Johnson Navigator Questions

[Freeberg, Scott (STP)]

Hi Ed,

Thanks for replying to my Navigator info posts.  Yep, thats what I
discovered also.  Another list member W3NU told me the Navigator pointers
came out of the back of the knobs.  I looked and sure enough, there they
are.  The white pegs are missing but the holes are there.  That was totally
unexpected.  When I pulled the transmitter from the box, I noticed the white
pegs missing, then noticed the peg holes missing from the front of the
knobs..  At first I wondered if they were non-original knobs.

Anyway, I plan on restoring the rear facing pointers for originality and
because its hard to figure out where the knobs are set.  That style of
pointer sure gives the radio a unique look!
