>Hi Mike,
>Saw your post about the power supply - think it is the 252M.  Ten-Tec power
>supplies of that vintage were prone to fail in a horrible way.  I think it
>was that the pass transistor would short, putting about 25 volts into the
>rig.  They used to sell what they called an OVP (overvoltage protection)
>circuit board for about $10.  I surely do suggest that you consider getting
>one if you do not have one in the supply.  They mount on the inside of the
>rear panel, so would be easy to spot if already installed.

> Good luck and 73, Mike -N4NT-
