May 3, 1963      SB #955 - Part Reinstatement

SUBJECT:  #377680 Junction Box Assembly (Surplus)

The subject Junction Box Assembly is being reinstated and will again be available to Johnson Dealers through their respective Parts Distributors. The net price to the Dealer from the Parts Distributor is $30.00. In this instance, the dealer discount does not apply.

This assembly was originally designed for use in conjunction with the following electric starting engines.

RDS-20 thru 21B1958-5935 H.P.
V4S-10 thru 11B1958-5950 H.P.

Some dealers have used this assembly with the 1960 - 40 and 75 h.p. electric starting engines - by merely disconnecting the choke button and taping up the choke wire at the motor end.

In view of this wide usage range plus the direct savings to you, the dealer, (original list price was $72.25) it might prove profitable to keep several on hand.

The supply is limited so order now. Orders will be filled on a first come first serve basis until stock is exhausted. At that time, service of the complete Junction Box Assembly will be discontinued, and detail parts will have to be ordered to make up the assembly.

Remember - order only from your Parts Distributor and not from Johnson Motors Service Department.

Very truly yours,

JOHNSON MOTORS
