[TenTec] FS: Loaded Omni V and Hercules 444 (Original Hercules)

[Jim Brown K9YC]

My K3 is shipping this week, so I need to turn some dollars! 

The Omni V.9 (N4PY mod) is loaded with filters in all the slots. 
The 9 MHz filter is 500 Hz. Purchased from a ham in Stow, OH, who 
was writing for QST at the time. It was realigned at Ten Tec soon 
after I bought it (2003), and has been at my second station for 
several years. I did not get a P/S with it, and have run it from an 
Astron. P/S cable is wired to Power Pole. It does NOT have the FM 
board. I've mounted a BNC jack in the hole where the external 
speaker jack was, and wired it to the pre-keying line to drive the 
Hercules I (so it's equivalent to the Omni 546 and Omni A/D driving 
the Hercules full QSK).  The speaker jack can easily be restored. 
I've also got a 219 filter (250 Hz) for the 9 MHz IF (not 
installed). The Omni V comes with a serial cable that I built for 
it that also has breakouts to send CW and PTT from Writelog and 
other contest logging programs, and I've used it in several 
contests. 

I have an Inrad roofing filter mod for this rig (also fits the Omni 
6) that has not been installed. 

I bought the Hercules 444 (the original Hercules) from a ham in NW 
Indiana about four years ago to run in my second station. He ran it 
for many years, ragchewing on SSB. He ran it on 120V. This unit is 
VERY clean. I've opened only the P/S to switch the XFMR to 240V. I 
also added a pair of 12V muffin fans to the power supply chassis. 
No holes drilled -- they mounting screws go through the grille 
holes. 

I do NOT want to ship the Hercules, but will ship the Omni V. No 
boxes for any of this gear. So figure pickup or I meet you halfway 
for the Herc. I'm in Santa Cruz, 70 miles S of San Francisco. When 
making an offer for the Herc, remember that output devices have 
been discontinued for at least 20 years, so it's a science project 
if they blow. On the other hand, the rig is quite well protected, 
so it you use it with reasonable care it should run a long time. 
I'm happy to sell these units separately or together, in any 
combination. Same for the Inrad roofing filter. 

The Omni V and Herc 444 are currently hooked up and working at my 
main operating position. Without pushing it, the Herc is giving me 
700W out keydown. 

I'm also selling a Timewave DSP599zx that I bought used online to 
use with the Omni V. It works fine, and I think I upgraded the 
firmware right after I bought it (2004).

Please respond with offers and/or questions by PRIVATE EMAIL, NOT 
TO THE LIST.
