Johnson Viking phone patch FS

[Ken Simpson, W8EK]

Thanks for that info, Garey.

I thought that likely was the case, but both of these are set up
vertically  -- at least at the moment.

Thanks.

73,

Ken, W8EK

Phone patches For Sale:

Johnson Viking Phone Patch - Model 250-46

This phone patch is made to be mounted vertically 
beside the rig.  It is about 6 inches high, 2 inches 
wide and 3 inches deep.  It is possible that the face 
plate can be removed, and it made to be mounted 
horizontally, but I have not done that.  The reason I 
say this is that there are feet on the bottom, and on 
the left side.  Maybe the feet on the left side are to 
protect the rig.  In any case, it has 3 pots on the 
front for Null, Receive Volume, and transmit gain, 
along with a switch for phone patch or microphone.  
On the back is a terminal strip for speaker and 
phone line.  The microphone input has the 2 pin 
Amphenol connector like used by Johnson, Heath, 
Hallicrafters, and many others in that era.

I found two of these phone patches.  Both work fine.

One is in nice shape. Paint is original and nice 
and lettering close to perfect.  No scratches that I 
can find.  $45

The second is not as nice.  A previous owner repainted 
it, and left the rubber feet in place when repainting.  It is 
not terrible, but not near as nice as the first one.  $35

Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.

73,
