WANTED - Old detector . . . . . Viking BFO

OK, there has to be one floating around out there - in a garage, a basement, attic . . . . . .

This was the first detector I used and unfortunately I traded it to a friend back in Jr. High for a fishing pole of all things and is the one detector I've owned over the years that I do not still have. I've been looking for one for years and have feelers out but so far no luck.

It was a basic $20 one-knob BFO with a 6" coil and a sky blue plastic case. Only made one model so if you find an odd looking basic detector with a Viking name tag (not the same as the Viking from England that is still in operation), let me know . . . . . . . I'll make it worth your while if you can help me find one.

If you have a copy of my book The Treasure Hunter's Handbook, there's a picture of me and the detector on page 23 . . . . .

Thanks in advance

What year was the manufacture of this detector ?
 
It was one of a myriad of low end detectors that cropped at at that time and was sold via an an in the back of Popular Mechanics which my father subscribed to and it caught my fancy . . . little did one know what that $20 gift would lead to. It was in production for about 2-3 years and then the company went bust as did most of the companies selling lower priced BFO units when the TR units took off.
