[Johnson] New to me Johnson Viking I

[manualman at juno.com]

Personally, I much prefer the 829B over the 4D32, plus 829B's are readily
available.
If this was still the 60's or 70's, the TVI mod kit probably would be
somewhat important. In today's TV environment, it's really not necessary
unless you have money to burn.
