Welcome to the group. My only EF Johnson radio at the moment is a Ranger I plan to restore. I wished now that I had bought a Viking at a hamfest in NW Ohio a month or so ago. It was said to be in working condition. My problem was it was big and I'd have no place in the house to store it or set it up. The other problem was how heavy it was and I didn't feel like trying to carry it all the way back to my car. I think it was under $100.

I just jointed this group.? Hope it grows.? I'm an older ham and have been in the hobby since 1953.? Over the years I have collected a lot of ham gear and own a fair amount of EF Johnson gear including a Desk KW, Valiant, Ranger, Viking 2, viking 1, 6N2, etc.? Right now I am just getting started refurbishing a Viking 2.? I'm always restoring something.? EF Jonson made some nice gear.? When I first got into the hobby, I think just about every other ham had a Viking 2 and a SX-71 Hallicrafters receiver. ? Or at least it seemed that way.? Those two pieces of gear were extremely popular and make up a very nostalgic station. Lee Bahr w0vt/w5drc
