Evening all.
I need help with my Viking Valiant. I have managed to get the band change cam all out-of-wack with the rotary switches. It started with a loose band change knob and escalated from there. Is there a description/tutorial on how to re-set the band change. I’ve been looking on the internet, alas to no avail.
Thanks 73

Logically, if it would be anywhere, it would be in the assembly manual since the Valiant was sold as a kit too.

I would highly recommend you order a a good quality Valiant manual from ManualMan and seriously examine the construction steps for the Kit.

it is amazing how when one is about to give up on a perplexing problem and seek help then a revelation happens and one is able to come to a solution.  I don't know how many times I've gone through beating my head against the wall, walk away from it nearly giving up, maybe ask some questions, then all of a sudden the solution becomes apparent.  I've awakened myself at times in the middle of the night with something I didn't recognize immediately then implement the late night thought the next day and viola. Glad you got it working, Dan.

Yes, this happens to me quite often too. Btw, I’m ordering the assembly manual - it looks to be essential for figuring this stuff out. Thank all. 73
