Viking I

[Al Parker]

Hi Ron,
    I think Glen pointed you at the Johnson list.
    I got a V-1 about 18 mo.s ago, started a webpage on it, but didn't keep 
up with the work on it like I did on the xmtr.
http://www.boatanchors.org/viking1.htm
    I"ve gone thru it, rebuilt the audio section, almost everything had 
drifited or gone leaky.  I didn't go hi-fi like some think they do, but did 
the work that reduced distortion and generally improved quality.  I did a 
PTT mod., and maybe a few others.  Did keep notes, will scan & cc to you if 
you'd like.  I've used it on 160 & 75 AM some during last season.  Have a 
$deposit on it from a guy, but he's been 6 mo.s and hasn't come to pick it 
up.  Have a Valiant coming to replace it for the coming season, if I get a 
round tuit when it arrives.
    You can find a lot of stuff on it if you google it, the Viking 2, the 
Ranger & the Valiant, they all have the same audio, in general, and domr 
other things are applicable.
