Title: Johnson Valiant Front Panel Replacement Post by: wb6kwt on July 25, 2017, 01:11:26 PM I have a Valiant that is in dire need of a new front panel, I have a used one coming so need to get the "old" one off. I know I saw a youtube video that explained the procedure and the precautions with the VFO shaft but I can't find it now. I thought it was a video by K7PP or maybe D-Lab, anyone know the video I'm talking about? I just found this great resource and have read a bunch of the forum posts.
Thanks for your help. Bob - wb6kwt Title: Re: Johnson Valiant Front Panel Replacement Post by: KA0HCP on July 25, 2017, 03:44:18 PM http://freeradiocafe.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4979
From Janis, AB2RA: VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT! DO NOT DETACH THE FRONT PANEL WITHOUT FIRST LOOSENING THE PLASTIC VFO DRIVE COUPLING FROM THE FRONT PANEL. IF YOU DO NOT, IT DESTROYS THE PLASTIC DRIVE. ONCE ALL THE NUTS ARE TIGHTENED IN FINAL POSITION, (CAREFULLY ALIGN FINGER TIGHT FIRST), REDO THE VFO DRIVE LAST! http://wireless-girl.com/Projects/AMTransmitters/JohnsonValiant1.html Title: Re: Johnson Valiant Front Panel Replacement Post by: KB2WIG on July 25, 2017, 04:40:24 PM Yeah, she really knowes her stuff.
