[Boatanchors] Jojhnson Viking Model 122 VFO wnted

[D C _Mac_ Macdonald]

The WRL Globe 755 I built was VERY stable. 
I used to zero on SSB QSOs and join in with 
my Globe Scout 65 and 755 and most didn't 
even know I was on AM! Every once in awhile, 
a new SSB station would come on to the chat 
and be a bit off freq and then they'd detect 
MY full carrier and tell me I needed to reset 
my carrier balance! That was fun. 
 
Anyway, that 755 was a big improvement over
its Heathkit VF-1 VFO.
