Title: Viking Valiant Band wafer help Post by: N1OHN on March 22, 2015, 05:15:49 AM Hello all
My band switch is gone :( I understand that I could use one from the Ameritron al-572 or the al-80 and double it up. Anyone have info on how I can do this mod? Thanks all!!! Dave Title: Re: Viking Valiant Band wafer help Post by: N1OHN on March 22, 2015, 08:06:44 PM anyone :-\

Anyone have info on how I can do this mod? Thanks all!!! Dave Are you really saying the entire bandswitch (wafers, metal frame, hardware, etc.) is missing? If true, a junker Valiant for parts might be worth considering or maybe you can find someone parting out a Valiant. You might also try here. Looks like he has a band switch for sale: http://tubes_tubes_tubes.tripod.com/id32.html Title: Re: Viking Valiant Band wafer help Post by: KA2DZT on March 22, 2015, 08:23:39 PM Give it a little more time, someone should have some help. These wafer switch problems are common and threads about them come up all the time.

That's a little different then "My band switch is gone". Buy the entire band switch if Gary still has it. At least you'll have some future spare repair parts.
