I have recently acquired in a box of mostly Tektronix manuals (for which I’m also looking for a home) a Johnson Viking I transmitter manual.
It even has the un-numbered page with instructions about how to connect the transmitter to drive “a larger modulator” – a page Johnson inserted between pages 8 and 9.
It's clearly mimeographed, and the pages are light tan, no longer white. The cover has a picture of the transmitter and the typical Johnson red-orange bands across the top and bottom.? It says that it’s CATALOG 705, but the insides are clearly a manual.? Only the top two pages, which are printed on glossy stock, appear to be from a/the catalog, so someone apparently stapled the relevant two pages from the catalog onto and as the front pages of the aging mimeographed Viking I manual.
It also has a page of handwritten notes about how to tune up the transmitter.
I don’t have a Viking I – I have a Valiant and a Navigator, so I don’t need this manual.
So, it’s free to a good home.
If you have a Viking I and would like this manual, please let me know and I’ll send it to you. First responder gets it.
No cost – I just can’t bear to throw away equipment manuals!
Now if you know someone who’d like a cardboard file box full to Tektronix manuals, please tell me.? I’m trying to keep them out of the landfill, too!
