[Boatanchors] Viking Valiant I on SSB - Valiant I SSB Conversion Kit ???

I have the manual (from BAMA) for the Johnson SSB adapter, Model 
240-305-2.  The manual shows the connections needed for use with the 
Valiant II or the Valiant I which has been modified with the Valiant I 
Conversion Kit, Model 250-47.

Does anyone have any information on this conversion kit?  If anyone has 
a scanned manual or even a schematic, it would be much appreciated.  I'm 
rebuilding an old Valiant I, and I'd like to go ahead and add the jacks 
and wiring I'll need to incorporate the changes in this conversion kit.  
After I get the Valiant rebuilt, I'd like to have the option to use it 
with an external SSB adapter (since there's an "SSB" position on the 
Mode switch).  I'm pretty sure I'll never find one of the Johnson SSB 
adapters, so I'll probably make whatever additional mods are necessary 
to use the transmitter with a Heath SB-10.

If any of you have a Valiant I which has been modded with this kit, or 
has any documentation for the circuit changes needed, please let me know.

Thanks as always,
Mike, WB0LDJ
