[AMRadio] Viking II

[Bob Raley]

Al, most people will tell you that Mouser has the best prices on components. However I order most of my parts from Antique Electronic Supply in Tempe Az.  I believe their website is,
www.tubesandmore.com  
I've restored 3 different radios recently and they've always had the parts I need.  Good luck with your project.
