Title: "New" Valiant Post by: W7SOE on April 05, 2014, 01:44:38 PM Just received my first Valiant. It is fairly rough, with some mods. But there are clues... Besides undoing the mods there is a lot of cleanup and and the usual cap replacement to do etc.
Lot's of info on this site. Perhaps some of these pictures will mean something to you all. Anyone have a copy of the August 1960 QST? 73 Rich Title: Re: "New" Valiant Post by: W7SOE on April 05, 2014, 01:45:23 PM More pics

Should be a nice rig when you get it finished up. T Title: Re: "New" Valiant Post by: W7SOE on April 05, 2014, 05:07:05 PM More weirdness, this on the left rear of the inner chassis. Perhaps an added pot? Uggggly.

Thanks for the insight on the bias pots. I am not an ARRL member so will have to proceed without the article.
