[TenTec] New Rig; New Thread: Triton II

["Rick Westerman" <Rick@Westerman.de>]

Well for me it is a new rig!

 

Picked up a Triton II in fairly good shape, VFO tunes smoothly, elevator
works OK, etc.

But the amp's transistors are blown.

PT5767.  4 of them.

Dunno how many are blown yet.

 

I heard these are no longer available.

I will check with Ten-Tec.

Anybody have any info on this?

Any substitutes?

 

Otherwise there is always the possibility to bypass the PA and run it as a
10w QRP rig.

That will be OK too, for the price I paid for it.

 

If anyone out there has changed the finals themselves, please share your
experience with me.

 

Tnx.
