[Johnson] 120 vac accessory socket

Thu Jan 8 16:24:10 EST 2015

I removed the ceramic crystal socket from my viking II and replaced it with 
a pair of NOS pin sockets and plugs I had . they fit the chassis holes 
perfectly and there is no exposed metal to possibly become shorted . 
probably could use a pair of the panel mount type banana sockets and plugs 
as well .
