Hi Ed,   
      
      
      
   EV> IIRC, that was the Johnson Viking 500 instead of the Viking II.   
      
   RW>Yep, I operated the II, but have seen the 500.   
      
   EV> I saw a 500 once and found out it that what I saw on the top of the   
   EV> desk in the Ham Shack was only half of it, on the floor there was a   
   EV> box about the same size for the 500's Power Supply and maybe a Plate   
   EV> Modulator for AM transmission (?).   
      
   RW>YEp, recall that too.  I think the outfit I saw with the 500 had been rack   
   RW>mounted.  I seem to recall its owner had done   
   RW>some customization to make it rack mountable in its various   
   RW>modules, etc.   
      
   EV> IIRC, the case that came with the top section of the Viking 500 was   
   EV> a standard 19 inch one.   
      
   Yep, iirc it was the ppower supply section he had to   
   customize for rack mounting.  MIght be wrong on that though, it's been since   
   the '70's.
