[TenTec] Argonaut 505 value?

[Clark Savage Turner]

Hi Jeff -

Heck, I bought one of these way back when, took it "backpack mobile" up 
into the Delaware Water Gap, too.  Those were the days (not necessarily 
better, but I sure was younger!)

The 505 has a caveat - there are some parts that are no longer 
available from Ten Tec (like for the Herc I amp, I think it is the 
final transistors).  The SWR meter sensitivity is set from the rear of 
the rig as I recall.  It was quite a cool little radio in its day, and 
may have collector value.  I know I've seen them come and go in the 
under $200 range when I was paying attention.
