Fern!

Good to hear your reply...I have forwarded this to my "partner in crime" and 
will get back to you ASAP.

I'm really not sure what it should be, but will be back to you shortly.

    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,
Art, KØRO
