dave..

The triton I have is really in nice cosmetic shape, it would be a shame to gut it for parts...

It's really in nice shape, for a triton IV....

It does need some fixing. Dial lights, band switch cleaned and a good tweak and peak and so on.

I'd like $200 + some help on shipping..


ps...I had picked up a omni D that was used on fd...the generator went bonkers and cooked the rig... took forever to get it back to life..

Hi Mike ,
What you look for in return?
I have a Triton 4 in fair shape that need the Final Assembly to finish
restoration.. The one that came with it was zorched by someone hooking up
that power connector backwards yikes that put 60 or 120 volt ac on the
finals. and in the aftermath they just about distroyed the board trying to
fix it.. so might be interested in yours.

Thanks for the consideration.

since the weather has been so crappy because of the storm going up
the east coast, i spent most of the day cleaning the shack, testing
and repairing radios and whatnots..

I found a trition IV that was on the list of "things to fix" and it
looks like I just won't get to it this year, I've got four more
tritons on the pile, so one has to go.

here's da poop!

Ten Tec 540 (Triton IV) with the newer four pole amp connector for
power and not the older jones plug.

here's what I know..

dial lights are out.
NO blanker NO CW filter
The dummy plug that goes in the rear is gone, ( I tested the radio
with the only one i have!)

PTO is fine, but abit stiff. dial cord is nice, no droppy pointer on
this one

Transmits
Receives
Needs band switch cleaned

all and all in nice shape. Silk screen is nice, there no scuff marks
on panel. Front panel is NOT perfect. Overall the old gal is not in
too  bad of shape.

so, it you're looking for a winter fixer project that won't take too
much, here's your chance..

email me off list for details..
