Hello list
I recently posted a F.S. ad for selling my beloved amplifier and xceiver and
received an offer which I accepted. Unfortunately the potential buy could
not raise the money  so they are both available again.
I need to sell both because I am moving to Saint Petersburg Russia on the
15th of September for a while or permanently and neither unit is type
accepted for importation plus the Titan far exceeds the limit for recip.
licensing there of 100watts.
I'm open for offers because I don't want either of these fine rigs to be
sitting in storage deteriorating for a few years, they need to be used.

Titan 425, late model with low hours on tubes, excellent condition with no
blemishes.  $1600 .  My favorite amp of all.  It is hard to believe the RF
section is so compact, attractive and high powered and yet weighs only
17lbs.  The PS. weighs about 50lbs

Paragon I 585 with all filters installed  in excellent condition.  The only
mod is not really not a mod, the minor and major PLL boards have been
completely resoldered after removing the old solder.  This solves a common
problem of these units falling out of lock. This one has not dropped out
once since reoldered the board 1 year ago.

Other items I have that might be of interest: but not by Ten-Tec

Motorola Service Monitor model 2002C  10khz-1ghz with the ovenized high
stability master osc.  Good condition and perfectly aligned. $2,000.  I
bought this unit new in the 80s for $19,000 ;>(

Collins 312B-4 station control, in excellent condition, I took it new out of
the box 3 years ago, $125

Collins 30L-1 fair condition, not collector condition but a solid and stable
performer $450, the best and easiest to use 115 volt mains self contained
amp I've ever used.

Stewart Warner R-390A with original meters and good condition. It is missing
the ballast tube which has been substituted by a 10 watt power resistor.
The ballast tubes are available again for about $20-25.  The tube is used as
a quasi-filiiment regulator for the BFO and PTO tubes.  $400

Halicrafters HT-32A, Good condition, works great, probably the best early
filter type SSB rigs( I've had them all so speak with some authority),
certainly the easiest to tune (except for the CE-200)  $150

Signal/One CX-7A  Good condition except it has a open power transformer.  I
bought a new Peter Dahl transformer for it but I never found the time to
install it..  $400 with transformer.  Interesting rig, at the time of
manufacture, the best built and most sophisticated ham rig available(and
most expensive)

Collins KWM-2 fair condition, not collector class but works well and
original.  Including power supply Has optional Noise Blanker, $350

Lots of H-P and Tektronix test equipment, RF and audio type.
H-P606A H-P608E Marconi RF generators
Lots of 465 scopes
Many 403B, 400el, 400FL AC VMs etc.

I also have a Kenwood TS-50S which I might sell but I was planning on taking
it to Russia because it is small and is type accepted.  If I sell it, I want
to replace it with a K-2 that I can use on batteries while backpacking.
Beong a kit is does not need to be type accepted.  Overall, the TS-50S is
very competent rig with a very sensitive receiver. Has optional CW filter
installed.

Thanks for your time reading my list
