I definitely fit the profile the guy mentioned. 65, next birthday, and
50 years with a license and really enjoy giving guys like him hell.
Get the Viking going stock then modify if you need to.
Congratulations Steve you have made it to the cellar where I live.

Same here. I turned 65 my last, and I am now in my 49th year as a
licensed amateur. I hope neither one of us will fall into that "couple of
years" category, though.
Ashtabula Bill got a chuckle about a decade ago when I told him about a
couple of slopbuckets I overheard in conversation and one of them remarked
"Ashtabula Bill hasn't died yet?". Looks like they are still having a
long wait. When I work Bill, we still sometimes get a laugh out of that
one. :-)

Im another of the old farts. Will be 67 on 12/13 and got my Novice 11/55.
However Ive also pushed the technology envelope having been on SSB (as well
as CW/AM) as far back as 58. And been part of the first ever ham EME team
down at Sam Harris'.
I got into AM again in the 1980-85 era with a 4-1000A and sold everything
only to get interested again recently. This time Im concentrating on the
30's and 40's.
I have modern gear for DX chasing right up to microwave, lots of homebrew
for 6M and above. Even a Cleg Zeus & Interceptor. Also a vintage SX-115,
HT-32A, NCL-2000 for when the spirit moves me for some mini contest.
However, I still wont use open wire line <BIG G>
