Just curious, what are the typical required mods for a Johnson 500...
(Other than the typical AF mods!)

Oh, there is no key anymore, I just use a small screwdriver!
All the HV feedthroughs are new, I put new caps in the LV, Bias, and screen supplies, and
a really nice 12 uF oil filled in the HV...
The Plate iron is a replacement too...
Naturally I did all the AF mods ya normally do....plus the VFO rebuild....
She works really great, I just wanna keep it that way
