For Sale:

TenTec 585 Paragon HF transceiver
This rig covers 160 thru 10 meters, including the WARC
bands.  It has a general coverage receiver, and includes
SSB, CW, and AM.  An optional FM adapter is available
for it.  Of course it has digital readout, memories, scan,
dual VFOs, PBT, notch filter, etc.  100 Watts output.
This particular unit works 100% and looks really great
also.  Front panel is great.  It does have a scratch on 
the heat sink in the rear. Big inch thick manual is 
included, as is the original box.  TenTec sells these
used for $795.  This one is just as nice for $650.

Giehl Chip Firmware upgrade for Paragon 585.
This is a new EPROM that essentially upgrades the
585 Paragon to a Paragon II.   $60

TenTec 961 Power Supply / Speaker
This matches the Paragon, and also the Corsair II
and other TenTec rigs.  13 V DC at 20 amps. 
This one is in great shape, and includes manual 
and original box.  $160

TenTec 214 desk microphone with stand
This is the "banana" electret microphone with
4 pin connector.  Good shape, with paper work,
for $70.

TenTec 288 crystal filter - 1800 Hertz
This is the narrow SSB filter used in the Paragon,
Corsairs, Omni V and VI, etc.  With paper
work, like new, for $70.

TenTec 251 power supply
This is the power supply that was made to go with the
Argonaut when used with the 405 linear amp.  It is
somewhat rare.  The 251 will supply 13 V DC at up to
9 amps.  It was also used with the Triton I (the 50 W 
output model), and could be used with any rig needing
13 V DC at up to 9 amps.  This styling matches the 505
or 509 Argonaut, the 405 amp, the Triton I and II and
others that are the walnut wood grain and eggshell white.
This particular one works fine and includes the paper 
work for $65.

Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.

73,

Ken, W8EK
