[TenTec] Small CW only rig.

[Mike Hyder -N4NT-]

I thought the same thing.  The rig, I think the "AC-1," used an octal socket 
for plugging in a crystal and the key.  It used a plug-in coil that you 
wound for whichever band you chose.  The rig used a 6V6 tube and I think a 
6X5 rectifier.  Mine was a gray open chassis with red pointer knobs, I 
think.

Here's a link to a photo of one like I had:

and another link to a slightly different model:

Ten-Tec never made any tube transmitter but the TX-100. What you're
describing sounds like the Ameco rig. It was 15 watt kit with crystal
control. Sold for around $30 or so.
