[AMRadio] Johnson Valiant Part Search

[w0ng at comcast.net]

Hey Geoff,

In this particular Johnson Valiant, it has a unglazed, 4" ceramic post used as a standoff and connection point for the three 6146 plate parasitic supressors. From that ceramic post, a silver-plated metal ribbon goes over to the plate choke.
