That was the TX-100. I used to own one. Moore must have left out a zero in his model number listing.It 
was the only tube rig Ten-Tec ever made. Don't think they made many of them. They're quite a 
collector's item now.

> Raymond Moore, in his book "Transmitters, Exciters and Power Amplifiers, 1930 - 1980" lists the Ten 
Tec TX-10.  It was made in 1971, sold for $99.50, covered 80 - 10 meters, CW only, 100 watts input to 
the final, and had a Pi network output circuit.  He shows a picture of it as well.  It has a meter with a 
clear plastic bezel on the left, a cluster of four knobs (3 smaller knobs and a larger one that appears to 
be a bandswitch) on the right, a crystal socket in the bottom center, a power switch on the bottom left, 
and a jack on the bottom right.  If Moore lists it in his book it is probably a tube transmitter.
