EF Johnson Viking Adventurer Transmitter Original Panel Meter New in the Box

EF Johnson Viking Adventurer Multi Meter (NOS in original box) is the original panel meter for the classic E.F. Johnson Viking Adventurer novice CW transmitter.Key Specifications & Data
  • Type: Analog DC panel meter (typically a 0–100 mA or similar range for plate current, with possible grid current scale via switching).
  • Function: Monitors final amplifier plate current (807 tube) and often grid current. Essential for proper tuning ("dip the plate").
  • Condition: New Old Stock (NOS) in the original box — highly desirable as original meters often fail, get replaced with modern ones, or suffer from sticky movements.
  • Mounting: Standard round or rectangular panel mount for the Adventurer chassis.
Gear Used WithThis meter was factory-installed in the E.F. Johnson Viking Adventurer (also called Johnson Adventurer), a popular entry-level 50-watt input CW transmitter from 1954–1963. It covers 80–10 meters using crystal control (or external VFO) with a 6AG7 oscillator and 807 final tube. It was a favorite first transmitter for many Novice-class hams.
