Rather than the almost impossible task of finding a mint-looking Johnson Viking II - his old Novice rig - Jim found a photograph of one, laminated it, installed it onto a case and used it as a template for the knobs on the QCX transceiver.

Faux 1950's QCX transceiver de W8YKG
Many thanks to Jim W8YKG for letting me post the results of his project here. I've heard of homebrewers re-purposing old modem cases, etc. for QRP rigs and other projects but Jim's finished result looks absolutely spectacular and has me looking around for old, broken (and therefore cheap) classic rigs for my next project (which will hopefully be a QSX transceiver).
