I asked the group this a week ago, but it seems to have been missed due to QRM on the list. I now have a great Omni C at my station here. It's beautiful and in perfect condition, loaded with filters,

Once was the time that if a rig hit a bench at Ten-Tec, all the switches and potentiometers were cleaned and lubricated. Don't know if they would have done that when you had the PTO rebuilt but I thi

Jeramy, I can't remember if anyone said this before but VERY important, either us an original Ten-Tec power supply, or else you will need to insert an 18A circuit breaker in the + line. I believe the

Thank you Rick, I have two 255 P/Ss here. One for my Omni C and one for my 580 Delta. So I should be good in that department. Thank you and 73, Jeramy / W5XTL ________________________________________

Thanks to all that responded, Loads of good information! Looks like the PA and driver transistors along with the bandswitch wafers and indexes are the big ticket items at this time with only more par

While not at all rare, I'd wish for some ALC rectifier diodes, probably Schottky diodes, just to be able to fix it on Saturday night without having to wait a week for some to arrive, costing 70 times

The biggest parts replacement issue for the Omni-C, or for any of the digital readout Omnis for that matter, is the fact that the processor chip for the digital display has been discontinued by the

That's one advantage for the Omni A, Triton 540, and other analog display rigs, no timebase, processor, or other chips to deal with. 73, Curt KB5JO _______________________________________________ Ten

I wish they would have used a slide rule dial with a standard dial cord arrangement like just about every other manufacturer did at the time. That elastic band arrangement is just poor IMHO. Randy AB

All the more reason to have some on hand because such parts tend to not be made anymore and so to go out of stock. Power supply issues as in dried out electrolytic bypass capacitors near the controll
