Hi Ed,



EV> IIRC, that was the Johnson Viking 500 instead of the Viking II.

RW>Yep, I operated the II, but have seen the 500.

EV> I saw a 500 once and found out it that what I saw on the top of the
EV> desk in the Ham Shack was only half of it, on the floor there was a
EV> box about the same size for the 500's Power Supply and maybe a Plate
EV> Modulator for AM transmission (?).

RW>YEp, recall that too.  I think the outfit I saw with the 500 had been rack
RW>mounted.  I seem to recall its owner had done
RW>some customization to make it rack mountable in its various
RW>modules, etc.

EV> IIRC, the case that came with the top section of the Viking 500 was
EV> a standard 19 inch one.

Yep, iirc it was the ppower supply section he had to
customize for rack mounting.  MIght be wrong on that though, it's been
since the '70's.


Regards,
