[Boatanchors] Front panel for Viking Valiant needed

[Dave Harmon]

The guys that think they cannot replace that resistor inside the vfo box
because of the tight area mount them under the chassis on an added term
strip.
I've replaced 3 of them in the original location inside the box.
It's IS harder than simply mounting the resistor on a TS....but, if I can do
it anyone else should be able to do it as well.
VFO stability is definitely better in the original location because the
temperature comes up to the compensated temp.
If the resistor is outside the box, the temp never comes up.....and the vfo
never stops drifting.

I had some idea the universally accepted VFO mod was to replace the
stock resistor with one of higher power rating and move it outside the
VFO box.  Now I am reading that is not so?

I do not want to digress from the original topic though.
