[TenTec] Omni 6 Plus Repairs

[Speer, Doug]

I am a new to Ten-Tec owner of an Omni 6 Plus.  The rig purchased from the estate of a silent key had been in storage for about 7 years.  When I bought the rig and powered it up the receiver appeared to work fine however the transmitter would not do more than 20-25 watts on 160 and 80m.  40m and above would run from 80-100 watts.  On 160 and 80m the total current draw on the power supply was less than 10 amps.  I sent the rig to Ten-Tec for repair and they replaced the Finals and Drivers at a cost over $450.  I'm curious from a technical view if replacing finals would seem to be the right fix.  I would expect problems with the higher frequency not lower frequency bands if the Finals were bad.  

Any comments or thoughts out there?

Doug, W9PN
