Ten Tec Brainiacs:

I inherited a sick Omni 5. All bands are dead (both RX and TX) except 10
meters, where all modes work, I get full power out and excellent  receive.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Check out the RX front end filter and TX output filter diode switch DC busses.
See if the voltage is getting to all the lower band segments when those bands are selected. The V may have had reed relays instead of diodes but the DC busses are still there.
