[Johnson] Kit wiring instructions for Johnson Valiant

[David Lee]

John-
I just finished doing this similar effort.  You won't like this answer, but 
to gain full access-- you must remove the front panel and then remove the 
entire VFO enclosure via the 8 retaining nuts from the bottom of the 
chassis.  The process is identical to the Viking Ranger.  Phil Salas, AD5X, 
has a PDF describing the step by step proces of the front panel removal 
(ad5ax.com/articles  under Boat-Anchor Related).
good luck

Subject: [Johnson] Kit wiring instructions for Johnson Valiant


I have a Viking Valiant that needs work on the VFO. It is very cramped and 
difficult to get to the wiring on the terminal strip and that going to the 
components such as variable capacitor and others.

Is there a way to remove the top portion to get to the wiring on the 
terminal strip that will enable getting to the terminal strip area and then 
putting everything back as it was.

I don't have the kit wiring/building instructions, for the VFO portion, and 
would like to have them to assist me in this VFO work.

Can someone give me some tips for getting to the VFO wiring on the terminal 
strip more conveniently? Does anyone have the VFO assembly and VFO wiring 
instructions that you might share with me?

Your experience with the Valiant VFO will be of value, if you will share it 
with me. Thanks and 73, John, K5PGW
