Hello,
The Antenna relay socket is a simple crystal socket in my VKII's. I just took
a useless metal xtal, unsoldered the shell and made an opening for a grommet
and zip cord to go to the relay. Then resoldered and injected silicone glue
past the cord.
One of those things you do when it is
Man, with all the warnings on here about voltage, it's
enough to make me quit licking 9V batteries as a test.

Actually, you can toss the 9v battery into a fish bowel filled with Guppies.
The electric field extends away from the terminals in a cardioid pattern
forming a partial sphere about the size of a large marble. Any fish that swims

Hey Ed -
Thanks for the reports last night, looks like I'll be in the world of
crapped out transmitters for a while. Some think 'shorted windings'
other think 'problems with bias in driver circuit'. Not sure when I'll
get the opportunity to get into it.

Known to cause tongue cancer. I wouldn't do it, personally.
I get my cats to do it.
The higher they jump, the better the condition of the battery.

I had just tuned to 3885, when I heard your rig crap out.
That'll teach you to move to the AM Ghetto!!! ;-)
Hopefully you can sort it out. I hope it isn't the mod iron.

Heh, sorry about the randomly off-topic reply. It's been a while, I
forgot that direct replies go directly to the list and not the

Not sure about the Viking II, but in the Valiant, the internal fuse is only in
the primary of the HV xfmr. The line plug fuses protect evertything else. I
replaced the single internal fuseholder with a double one and used the second
holder for a single fuse in the hot side of the line only and
The internal fuse in the Viking II is in line with the low and high voltage
transformer primaries and protects both. As stated before, there is no
prorection for the antenna relay socket unless the original fused line plug is
used.
This is not a good idea and it should be replaced as you

It is a good idea to use a separate fuse for the high voltage and the low
voltage. With one fuse only you can have a short on the low voltage and it
will cook the low voltage transformer and never blow the fuse. BTDT.

Sorry to hear about all that Todd. Hope the fix is easy and
you are full bore soon. Maybe a bias problem Hope so
rather than the transformer. Good luck.
