Does anyone know where I might buy the other two 10 meter crystals for my Argonaut 515? Model 212 14.990 MHz Part Number 48009 and Model 213 15.490 MHz Part Number 48010 Thanks! Steve WA9JML
Back in the fall last year, I sent my Argonaut II back to Ten Tec Service for some work. It needed several concentric pots replaced and the backlight circuit for the display fixed. I also ordered two
The Argonaut II and Delta II use an electroluminescent strip for the LCD backlight. I bought several of them from Britain. I have also found that the oscillator circuit that drives the transformer to
I sent it in when RKR owned the company. So, I am not surprised that it took this long due to the change in control. Such changes inevitably are more difficult to accopmlish than what is planned. The
Thank you for clarifying this for me, John. I put the rig on the air yesterday, and it acts like a new radio. I am very happy with the quality of the repair. I had no idea when I sent it in that it w
Hear Hear! Steve WA9JML Im very comfortable working on a service bench. I know what end of a soldering iron gets hot, and what direction a diode has to go back into a circuit. I purchased a used Jupi
I was able to purchase two PTO rebuilding kits and a hand microphone for my Omni VII. They just added them to my repair bill. So, some repair parts are available. Steve WA9JML Hello John, I notice th
I am mostly a casual operator here, so my Corsair II is more than adequate for my needs. I am more interested in what happens to the Argonaut line. I have had excellent performance with my Argonaut V
Thanks for posting these to your website, Rick! Is that Argonaut 515 one of the upcoming new models? I really like using mine! I'm glad to see that all of these lines are back at Dayton. Now if I cou
I think it would be a great idea for the next Argonaut to come equipped with 12 meters. I am not so concerned about 6 meter coverage, because I have found that the Argonaut VI is a great IF radio for
Rick, I have my vote and another for a Corsair III. But, they won't build that one, either. I will just have to make my Corsair II last a lot longer. Steve WA9JML

I recently contacted Ten Tec about the status of my Argonaut II and that I want to buy some PTO rebuild kits and an 8 pin hand microphone. I got a response back in several days. The radio is in the p
I'm thinking along the same lines. I am well aware that the Orion series is superior to the Omni VII, and it took several months for this to happen, but my Corsair II and external VFO is back on the
Kirk, you might try their service e-mail address: service@tentec.com. I bought a dial string and a PTO rebuild kit for my Argonaut 515 from the service department before the most recent buyout of the
My Argonaut II is still down there for service. I e-mailed them about it, and got a reply that it is in the queue. So, I am waiting to see what happens with it. Having been a service tech for Motorol
I have been following this thread with considerable interest. I still have a HW-7 that is functional, and recently bought an Argonaut 515 from a list member. The 515 is light years ahead of the HW-7,
What is the Ten Tec model number for the 8 pin hand microphone that will work with an Omni VII? And, does anybody here have a nice one that they would be willing to sell? TNX, Steve WA9JML
Hi John, I bought an Argonaut VI a while back. I had a great time with it during the ARRL Centennial. I don't have an amp for it, but I bought one of their RF speech clippers, and used that. I was am
Thanks for posting this, Ron. My favorite radio is sitting there in the Service Department, and I am hoping that it will still be fixed, despite all the changes necessitated by the change in ownershi
