[TenTec] "New" Ten-Tec Delta 580; Opinions & In sights

[Dennis]

Hello Fellow Tec-Tec Enthusiasts,

I recently added to my ever-growing Ten-Tec collection with a Delta 580, matching 280 Power Supply, and Desk Mic w/stand.

The prior owner had it at Ten-Tec recently for a "check-up" and any necessary adjustments.
In searching the list archives, I see that a noted "trait" of 580's is that they can be off 2 kHz on the readout when switching between bands because of the crystal sets. Any owners, past or present that would like to share any other insights good and/or bad??? Maybe even a Delta 580 Alumnus exists somewhere??  The Delta 580 is a very appealing rig for me and it looks to be a keeper. Would love to hear from others about it as well.

73,
