Good luck restoring the Johnson! I had a Viking II when I earned my general license in the 80s, and it was a beautiful transmitter for many years! May you have many happy hours with it!

You need to remount the J38 key 180 degrees on the base. Did be be more stable. I have a Viking Adventurer waiting to be restored. Sam AE4GX

I need the key high and add weight in front. I can share info from manual if you have questions on rig. 73

Is the rectifier tube a mercury vapor type? Or is it not old enough for that type of tube? Mercury vapor tubes will arc. If left too long, unused they need a warm up before plate voltage is applied. Also if stored standing not upright the mercury will flow places it might cause an arc. 73 de VK2AOE.

No, it's a 5u4 duel rectifier. Have several hrs on rig and 2 qso's with no problems.,though a gnd wave contact reported a chirp. Thanks for the comment and 73
