[Johnson] Viking I durability?

[Brian Burns]

Hello Carl,

 

" OTOH the V-1 didn't age well and survivability percentage is likely lower.
It was already a throwaway by the time the late 50's SS gear revolution
hit."

 

I've heard that the modulation transformers weren't quite up to the job, but
otherwise they seem to have a really good reputation for reliability. What
other issues are there, that might be fixed in a restoration job?

 

Thanks,

 

Brian
