[TenTec] WTB: Omni-C CW Filters & A Question

[Bahr, Casey]

Alas, my newly acquired Omni-C does not have either optional 
filter (1.8 KHz or 500 Hz) installed as I was led to believe. If anyone
has any of the optional filters for this rig they'd like to sell me,
please let me know. I am interested in them in the following
order of preference: 500 Hz (#217), 250 Hz (#219), 1.8 KHz (#218).

Does the #219 go into the 0.5 slots? And if I install either optional
filter must I remove the corresponding yellow jumper wire?

Also, as per my Triton, I expected there to be a noticeable difference
in sound when switching from either SSB mode to CW mode as
the built-in 750 Hz CW filter should be switched in, right? Seems like
a very unlikely part to fail, perhaps I'm overlooking some other setting?
With Selectivity switches at 2.4 KHz and audio filter off I hear no
sound difference listening to a SSB signal and switching the mode
to CW.

One more bit of almost interesting trivia. I look at an original magazine
add for the Omni-C and my Omni-C and noticed that the both
selectivity switches in each have the settings labels reversed. Wonder
why that change was made. Mine go from top to bottom: 0.5, 1.8, 2.4
and audio filters 2, 1, 0.
