FS: E.F. Johnson Viking Valiant Transmitter

Specifications:
CW - 275 Watts, AM 200 Watts

Bands: 160m through 10m

1.75 MHz to 2.0 MHz (160 m)
3.5 MHz to 4.0 MHz (80/75 m)
7.0 MHz to 7.42 MHz (40 m)

Antenna loads 50 to 600 ohms. Well-shielded for TVI and RFI suppression.
Silver plated tank coil. Break in keying and PTT system built-in.
VFO dial moves smoothly, and all tuning caps and iron are in good shape.
Transformers and tubes have been tested.

Dimensions: 21-1/8" wide, 17-3/8" deep and 11-5/8" high.

Has not been recapped or restored, but everything is there, and in good condition
and it has a new 3-way AC power cord that has been installed for safety.
Crystal cover is missing. Microphone connector was changed to a standard 1/4" style
plug instead of original 2-prong unshielded connector.
VFO, Band switch, loading switch and caps, meter etc. are all in good shape.

The pictures were taken before the 6146 mod tubes were installed. Comes with a copy
of the manual. The rig comes with all of the screws - the four long cabinet screws
and the original rear apron screws - all in clean shape.

This Valiant has no major issues, and it will make a great project and will
clean up very nicely. Just needs a little spit and shine - you could maybe repaint
the cabinet, but it is really not bad as-is. I have recently seen
these going for $1395.00 fully restored.
