Finally, in 1980, I bought my first piece of new gear...a Ten-Tec Omni A, Series B. This radio would be my primary rig for the next 15+ years and would travel with me to three continents and provide

Paul, Great find! If you're technically savvy at all, fix it yourself. There are plenty of resources on this list who can guide you through the rough spots. (Are you listening Jerry?) Maybe I'll dig

The stuck PTOs may only be congealed grease that would respond to a suitable solvent for thinning. Or like a Drake TR-4 given to a friend of mine, have been dropped on the face bending the shaft and

Answer to part 2: Is there really any need for "latest and greatest"? Sure there is. It keeps the economy going. After many years of searching, I finally managed to find an old Argonaut 515. It was a

Congratulations on a good deal! I thought at first that you were going to say that it was your original Omni, but your story is heartwarming enough. It's a good thing to bring an old rig back to life

That can happen... after about fifteen years of ownership I decided it was time to move on rig wise so I sold my original owner Argosy. Needless to say, it wasn't too long until I started kicking mys

You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone! Did the same with my 509. Was I happy to get it back! That can happen... after about fifteen years of ownership I decided it was time to move on rig wis

Al, I have the same story with a complete HW-9 station I built in college while on co-op in northern Virginia (in the mid-80's, there was a Heathkit storefront in VA just outside of DC). Won't let i

Interesting about the HW-9 station, Bill. I've been thinking about selling mine, given that I have a K1, K2, FT-817 and QRP+ (which I might sell because I have a ++). I can appreciate the nostalgia f

In college I sold a old guitar to make tuition. It is sorta like selling your little brother to the Gypsies ... at first it seems like a swell idea... but after awhile... well... you sorta miss the l

Paul, with your permission, I'd like to use this as an article in an upcoming issue of my club newsletter. I think it's a story that will resonate with just about every ham who's wanted a rig they co
