[AMRadio] Viking II

[russ dworakowski]

Al,  you  need  not  replace  the  HV  supply  cap,  unless you  know  it is 
  bad.  The  low B+  caps  I  think  are  40 ufd   and  the  bias
supply  caps.  Also  any  electrolytics  in  the  audio chain.  Just  these  
few  items  will bring  the  Viking II  back to  life.  The  hi
B+  cap  is  oil  filled  and  usually  is  good.  Unless  you  want  hi-fi  
audio,  that  should doit.  Look up  Antique  Electronic
Supply  in AZ.   Go  to www.tubesandmore.com      Enjoy  the  project-
Russ
