[Boatanchors] VIKING RANGER - another one

[Nick England]

I have a somewhat similar Ranger. It was converted by a club to use as
their "loaner" Novice rig. They removed all the audio components (even the
modulator tube sockets) and replaced the 6146 final with a 2E26 running off
the LV supply.

 I bought it at a hamfest years ago, along with a box which had most all
the removed components. I got started rebuilding it back to original AM
configuration, but it's been languishing on the shelf for a couple of years
now - some day!

cheers,
Nick K4NYW
