Hello all,
I have the opportunity to pick up a Paragon in great condition. It's
been gone through by Ten-Tec (Major/Minor loop boards fixed, aligned, and
fully gone through). Opinions
on this rig, when looking at the reviews, seem to be sharply divided. I
love the size and looks of the rig, but am wondering about first hand
experience in it's actual operation. Is it a maintenance nightmare? Are
parts still generally available if needed? Any issues with the CPU and
control circuitry (where I see the most issues obtaining parts if needed...
I could be wrong... but digital obsolescence scares the heck out of me when
it comes to trying to find parts for rigs).
Thank you in advance,
Jeramy / W5XTL
Jeramy,
Are you considering a Paragon or a Paragon II?
I recommend the II. I liked mine very much but
was seduced by an Orion 565.
