It's alive. IT'S ALIVE!!!

Saw my very first Johnson Viking Valiant and a Hammarlund SP600 this past weekend at the Orlando Hamfest. A gentleman had them in back of his red hatchback. The radios were outstanding examples of Howard Mills' restoration work. I lost the guy's eyeball qso card, but he lives in Ft. Myers, Florida.

The radios were so pretty it took my breath away. I didn't have sufficient funds on hand, and all I could say was, "Man, this is breaking my heart".

Someday.

The good thing is that both the SP-600 and Valiant are fairly common. So, you should have another chance to snag them down the road. There were several at the Richmond, VA Frosfest a few weeks ago.
