If anyone is interested, I have FIVE ..Viking I ... transmitters in my

Might make a good restoration project ... or, as Bill says, a nice box  
for an amp.

> viking I or II is interesting.
>    Would be great for a small amplifier for around 500 watts PEP output.
> The plate tank circuit is designed for 400watts PEP output. 1200 or   
> so peak DC plate voltage.
> If you found a scrap one with the plate tanke could make a good pair
