Default Info on Nye Viking Company MB-V-A Tuner

Hi;

Anyone know the history ? Why Nye Viking went from WA to ID ?
Was the MB V A tuner made the same way in Idaho as it was in Washington ?

Is there any component or construction difference between the two units ?

Thanks,

Bob

Hi Bob;
Good Question but I cannot help you.
I also have 2 Nye tuners, 1 is an MB-VA and the older one is one with
only one meter & plain rotary switches, both made in Washington state.
I do know that when they first started out, thier tuners looked like
the big 'ol Johnson match-box except they were sorta black instead of
Johnson Maroon.
I think they acquired that Johnson line & made them the same until
they designed thier own.
