Title: Viker II Drop In Replacement Audio Driver Transformer Post by: W7POW on October 10, 2012, 01:45:27 PM This has probably been asked before but I am having no luck finding information. Torched my driver transformer in the viking II and am looking for a direct replacement. Any ideas? Thanks,

Maybe you don't deal with the auction site but you might identify the transformer your looking for. I guess what you are looking for is single plate to push pull grids? Triad & utc makes them among others. Hammond makes them brand new so look them up on Google. Most are about $25.00 NOS.
There are also people on ebay striping out old parts rigs as a source of transformers. Hope this helps. Title: Re: Viker II Drop In Replacement Audio Driver Transformer Post by: KA0HCP on October 10, 2012, 03:10:14 PM www.radiodaze.com carries the Hammond line.

Title: Re: Viker II Drop In Replacement Audio Driver Transformer Post by: n4wc on October 10, 2012, 07:03:20 PM I believe the Hammond xfmr part # is 124E.
This transformer has been used to replace a Thordarson xfmr that was referenced in the three part Viking II modification articles in Electric Radio back in the nineties. The Thordarson apparently is no longer made. Bill Title: Re: Viker II Drop In Replacement Audio Driver Transformer Post by: KM1H on October 10, 2012, 09:23:04 PM $35 at AES

The only problem with the older transformers is some just expire to corrosion of the very fine wire used so buying a new (such as the Hammond) would be the best bet.
Title: Re: Viker II Drop In Replacement Audio Driver Transformer Post by: W7POW on October 11, 2012, 10:50:03 AM Thanks for the replys and advice! I appreciate it and will order a couple of the hammonds (for both my vikinings). A little more spendy than I thought though...there used to be a replacement around $12 if I remember correctly.
