Need help to ID a vintage transmitter

TommieG · #1 06-10-2008

Can some of you eagle eyes out there help me with identifying this transmitter?

BTW, the guy holding it is Joel Johnson, and the pic is from the 1987 World Championships in Romsey.

Thanks,
Tom

Looks a bit like the KO ex 1 to me? Not really sure.

Thans for your answers. I definately have thought about KO as well, but I was believing it might be this:

Unfortunately I can't see the top of it in this picture. Anyone with another pic of this EX-II where the top is showing?

Thanks,
Tom

I think it's an EX-1 too. The one on the right is the older, but the EX-1 Johnson is holding is even older.
I think it is this one, I had one back in the days :

.....now if anyone could help me ID the yellow front wheels of Johnsons 1987 WC Ultima.....

First I thought it was some yellow Raider wheels, but then I noticed that the Raider wheels have 6 holes, while these have only 5....

Anyone?

That will be the third KO EX-1 that was released, the only one with a white steering wheel, as Gayo shows. It would make life easier if KO actually used different names for their radios.
