Hello Steve & Crew, 
1.  I thought the front Crystal Socket of the Viking Transmitters were  an 
OCTAL 8-Pin TUBE SOCKET which can accomodate up to two (2) FT-243  Xtals!  


I think you're remembering the Ranger I................  That is the  case 
with it.   The Viking II has a 10-position crystal deck on the  chassis and 
inside the cabinet.(Gotta take the top off to make changes)   Crystal selection is 
made via a rotary switch on the front panel.
