I called them about a year ago and got a replacement band switch knob along with 4 small knobs, the meter knob and the tuning knob. Got them shipped to me within 3 days the total was under $20.00 dol
I did the same thing on mine. The band switch knob is the one that needs it the most Jerry. The epoxy is better than a steel insert. a great way the make all the knobs stronger or fix broken ones. Da
Centers are the same size as Heathkit SB inserts. You can find reproductions at Surplus Sales of Nebraska. They have all sizes. Other places have them too but you will have to do a Google search. Dan

They won't do it. I have told them I would pay for any information. They will not give it out. I even spoke with Jack Burchfield. I know they have the information for the technicians in the repair de

Bob, you must have a well done manual. N6KB is right. I did not buy a radio from Ten Tec to have an electronic puzzle. I will buy a Rubics cube for that. Yes, must of us could figure it out with time
Oh Oh, forget the idea of sending me information to compile. Was just informed that a fellow put together a CD like the Dennis Brothers CD for Collins and TT put a stop to that. Don't want to give my

Don't know what happened the email went out before I was done fellows. ALC is set in the radio at 14.05 for 100 watts when the ALC lamp just flickers. I agree that 10 meter is usually the most ineffi
