  Hello,
I seem to recall that when Ten Tec advertised the Hercules, they said it could be powered 
by deep cycle batteries (4x12v.?) as well as their power supply?  Does anyone else 
remember something like that in their ads?  Manual?

The original Hercules model 444 amplifier DOES NOT have a built in supply. It uses a very heavy 45V external supply that connects with about a 6 ft harness.
I have the amp.

Who are some recommended repair service providers for TenTec
amplifiers ( such as the Centurion amplifier?)

Thanks.

Can you be a bit more specific? Ten-Tec made more than one model solid
state amplifier. Since the power supply is so heavy I am guessing it is one
of the Hercules solid state amplifiers and not of the lower power units
used for QRP rigs. The Hercules and Hercules II are quite different.

Any thoughts?

well. There are many more.    On Wednesday, November 6, 2024 at 12:33:44 PM EST,

The original Herc had an inbuilt power supply. He has to have the Herc II, and 
external PS
