Hi, Todd-- I'm probably going to buy a Centurion as soon as my insurance company settles my lightning claim. But after seeing your posts about yours, I'd be quite reluctant to buy from you. I am not
If the Orion users departure didn't completely kill this reflector, I'd like to hear from the Ten-Tec diehards about this: I'm fixin' to buy an amplifier to replace my SB220 Heathkit that was toasted
My bandswitch knob also broke and made the bandswitch feel sloppy. I removed the knob and wedged one or two book matches between the inner tube and outer tube opposite the setscrew. There has been no
The 'pass transistor' is mounted on the heatsink that's on the rear of the unit. Your power supply is a very good example of why a crowbar circuit is necessary. 73, Mike N4NT I have found that the 25
I am sorry that Jim (who began the Yahoo group) didn't realize that a house divided against itself cannot stand. A reductio ad absurdum would be an infinite number of groups. We could have two or thr

I respectfully suggest you call Garland Jenkins at the Ten-Tec service department. Know just what the display is showing on different bands/frequencies. If Garland can't tell you right off, he probab
Yes, if you will read the manual, you'll find that you switch to some band and turn the preselector all the way one way. That lets you receive WWV at 10 MHz. Then you set the counter timebase so the
Stuart, what you are saying is misleading. There is a core that is sliding into and out of a coil. But it does not make contact with the coil. It is nothing like adjusting a slug-tuned coil. 73, Mike
The Century 21 PTO is probably about the same. Here is a website about rebuilding its PTO. http://www.io.com/~n5fc/c21_pto.htm I'd appreciate it if you did as you indicated and posted photos of your
