[TenTec] FS: Triton 540

[NZ8J]

I have a Triton 540 for sale, it is about a 7 to 8 in appearance, and works 100% (most of the time) It has a problem in that from time to time the audio will have what sounds like static, or "popping"  "crackling" sounds. the receive sigs are still there, but the noise is about the same level. It will stop with a "POP" and is quiet again. It's hard to explain the symptoms, but it sounds like maybe a cap is breaking down or something like that. I took the IF-AGC board out and reheated some of the joints and it seemed to fix the problem for several days, but it is starting to do it again. Also, I am running it from a 12 vdc battery and not a 13.8 vdc supply. I don't know if the slightly lower voltage is a contributing factor or not. The PTO has been rebuilt and is smooth. has a new dial cord. Includes the optional CW filter and noise blanker. I have the original manual, complete, but the pages are loose. It puts out full power andI believe it has all the 10 meter xtals.   Has the power cord that will connect to a standard non ten tec supply and has a relay wired in line so that the front panel on-off switch will work with any supply.   I will sell it as-is and ship and insure it in the lower 48 for $140.00. Please email with any questions. I can send a pic of it for those who are interested.

thanks
