Steve - I could not help but notice that you are sure spending an aweful large amount of time working on a very old radio. ;-) Don Re: [TenTec] CorsairII notch potentiometer from [Steve Hunt] [Perman
Can anyone say if there is a substitution for Corsair II finals? There was recently one for sale - working - but the finals were blown. Wondering if the radio is repairable? _________________________
Some are offering serial numbers here - great - but if you know the date attached to the serial, that's what many of us are after. ;-) Mine were both bought used, if anyone has serial numbers near th
It seems a safe assumption given my examples here that the digits that preceed the letter in the C2 serial number can be disregarded. The Motorola IC chips are date stamped: C2 Serial# 04A10579 - 883
The 4C3PA is round, like the speaker I found at Fry's. The Corsair II original speaker is oval - matching that is the toughy. I have seen oval speakers like this 1000 times - back in the day. Somewhe
The Corsair II serial numbers are inconsistent as Barry suggests and cannot be decoded using the current algo. What I have seen is that the earliest batch of Corsair II have only a string of digits.
Should be: The "9" at the end suggests 1989 - good, _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec
Hi Guys, My OMNI 564 started acting a little odd today, I thought I would see if anyone has any suggestions as far as things to consider before packing the unit up for shipment to the factory for s
Allen, What I try to do when there is an intermittent problem (this one qualifys 100%) is to find out some key piece of information in describing it. I will become obsessed about finding out key beha
net? Some guys will squawk if you are 20 cycles off net, but my Corsair II DDS is as stable and repeatable as my OMNI VI+. It also tunes as finely with slow movements. And when you want a big QSY it
Just to add to what Steve has properly suggested, the most practical problem with the PTO precision is not with the display, rather it is with the slop within the worm gear, pistol, grease and spring
Steve has just pointed out another biggy that I left out. With the N4YG DDS, the Corsair's native offset shift mechanism is completely bypassed/ignored. The 10khz shift is not problematic itself, how
Back in the day of outboard DSP, we were so excited about IF DSP, first with Kachina, TS870, then the rest of the world. Now that most everything is IF DSP, it seems that a good fundamental analog de
Anyone keeping parts for OMNI 6+, I'm looking for a nice smoked glass display for OMNI VI+. This covers the S-Meter and main frequency display. Maybe someone bough OMNI 7 and has spare parts for OMNI
TenTec turned my OMNI 6+ around in 3 days from the time they received it. They replaced the 10a and 10c band crystals. It appears that they have fixed it 100%. These band crystals are tied to a maste
Richards, I think the most important thing is to have a good radio - Ten Tec seems to have a knack for AGC and gain distribution - I am told OMNI 7 is world class, every other Ten Tec radio I have us
Has anyone successfully balanced the main tuning knob for OMNI 6 or Orion to the point where the drag control feelers are not required? _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing
There are so many caps just like C6 in the Corsair II, yet it seems to be a universal culprit. Wondering if there is some reason why that specific part is being abnormally stressed? == And you jiggle
Anyone seen their clock display changing while the radio is running from the actual time to 04:02? Is the clock part of the display used to display some other rig function, cant remember. tia... Don
Oh how I LOVE Google. Here is the solution - can anyone direct me to help locate the physical location of the variable cap mentioned? http://www.tentecwiki.org/doku.php?id=564clock2 Thanks Again, Don
