Courier

A "big bruiser" of a linear amplifier.

Two (2) 811A's and two (2) 866A mercury rectifiers.

		All tubes test good. The 811's are about 60% strength as measured on a Gm tube tester. 866A are good.
Power & filament XFMR passes low voltage testing. I do not have a safe method to measure 3000 volts secondary. I used 12 vac on the primary.	Needs to be stripped and repainted.

I checked this amp over to be sold on eBay by a Ham Radio Club. It was suggested that I should perform a full and complete restoration on this amp. The though is the person who wants one of these Johnson Viking Courier amp's is a person that wants to use it and not necessarily restore it.

If I do restore this amp I will certainly post the story here for all to see.

If you have an opinion let me know.

Paul.
