[Johnson] Viking Valiant restoration

[Robert Sauvan]

Hi all,
As some of you may remember, I purchased a Valiant locally back in May. 
Brought it home and I needed to put a power cord plug end on it to fire 
it up.  I started by asking a question on the reflector as to whether or 
not I should change it to a 3 wire cord and it was a unanimous yes in 
answer to the question. In the end I am sure glad I did. Anyway, after 
turning it on for the first time, it lasted on the air for about 2 
hours. I started having a few issues to deal with before being able to 
keep it on the operating table. I decided to do a full restore. I have 
finished the radio and have put a page on my website showing the various 
issues I had, the fixes, and the finish of the revamp. With lots of 
technical help from this reflector and a few who stuck with me through 
the process, the radio turned out great and works as good as it looks 
now. Let me know what you think. I want to thank those who worked 
through the issues with me to get it going again. Click on the link below.
