TenTec items for sale:
TenTec 243 remote VFO for Omni 545 and 546
This remote VFO is designed to operate with the early
Omni series to provide a second VFO for operating "split".
In addition to offering the normal split operations, it also
permits one to receive on two frequencies simultaneously.
Its styling matches the Omni, including the extruded ring
around the bezel.
This particular VFO looks like it just came out of the box
from TenTec. There is not a scratch, dent, ding, or wear
mark on it. It looks perfect. All bulbs work as well, and
the PTO is nice and smooth. Of course it operates fine
also.
Manual is included for $130.
TenTec 1140 magnetic circuit breaker
This includes the special fast acting circuit breaker,
and the 4 pin plug needed. It is used for most of the
100 watt output TenTec rigs, when using a non-TenTec
power supply, or from a battery. It is needed to protect
the finals, and is very fast acting. With paper work for $20.
25 amp switching power supply
This is a 25 amp switching power supply in a case that
matches the early Omni series case, with the metal bezel
around it. It is in a case that is the same size as a 243
remote VFO. It has an ammeter on the front, along with
Switch, TenTec logo, and output bulb. The front panel
basically looks like a 280 power supply with a metal bezel,
but says "Switcher/25" on it. It is very quiet, and well
shielded, and does not produce any electrical noise that
I could find. I am not positive if TenTec made this, or if it
is homebrew to look like TenTec. If it is homebrew, it
certainly is very professionally done. $120
Prices do not include shipping from Florida.
Thanks.
