[ForSale-Swap] Very Nice Viking Ranger II. . . . .

[K9ze at aol.com]

I have a very nice Johnson Viking Ranger II, that was built by my  
father-in-law (W9AMU), an electrical engineer, in the early  1960's.   It's been in 
storage since the late '70's.
Faceplate is beautiful, and there's absolutely no sign of rust or  
corrosion on faceplate, cabinet, or chassis.
All controls work smoothly and as they should and there is no free play or  
backlash to VFO.
Power cord is still very supple and is crack-free.
Faceplate is exceptionally clean and there's no indication of any rub marks 
 or lettering damage.
I had a friend in Fort Wayne check all of the tubes on an old Hickock tube  
tester.   Eleven were tested for mutual conductance and four were  tested 
only for shorts.  Ten of the eleven tested beyond the minimum Gm and  one 
tested bad, the 6146.   The 6146 was replaced with a good used  6146B.
I have not applied power to this transmitter, and would much rather leave  
that to its new owner.
If you might have questions or would like to have photos of any sort,  
please just ask.
If you're not familiar with the Ranger II, it puts out about 40-50 watts  
CW/AM and covers 6-160 meters.
The original Factory Owner's/Operating Manual is included.
 
 
Including very secure, museum-quality double packing & shipping to the  
Lower-48, I'm asking $400.
It'll be shipped in two containers, with all tubes foam packed in a  
separate box.
I can also offer to meet you within a couple of hours of Fort Wayne,  
Indiana, if you might be able to avoid shipping.   If delivery is  arranged, then 
the selling price would be $350.
