[TenTec] TT-253 Sought

[Fern Rivard]

    I do have a nice Ten Tec model 253 automatic antenna tuner that I am not using. I understand that they are fairly scarce but you can make me your best offer. I would ship from zip 83826 in northern Idaho. I can also provide some digital photos of the tuner if you wish. My plan was to put it on the epay site when I found the time but if you're seriously interested we could make a deal.

A friend and I are helping an octogenarian YL get back on the air.  She runs an Omni VI and Hercules II and we will be adding a ladder-line fed dipole to her station shortly.  She has very limited vision and we are looking for a plug-and-play solution for her, so the 253 is what first comes to mind.

Does anyone have one available?  We would appreciate comments
& options to consider. 

If not, has anyone successfully got such a set up (Omni VI/Hercules) to "talk" to the LDG or MFJ high powered auto-tuner, to simply matters/reduce the likelihood of operating error becoming rig error?

Yes, she is primarily a CW operator...so if you have one you've been holding onto for "no good reason," let me know; and if you have one and wish to sell for less than the top-dollar that might be had for it, that would be appreciated.  This fine lady has not asked for help but has been just overwhelmed, overjoyed and become so excited now that a few of us have stepped up to help, and we're all "doing what we can."

73,
