TenTec Items for sale:


TenTec KR-1 B, Model 603, Keyer

This Iambic paddle has travel that is adjustable, but the
really neat part is that the tension is adjustable with
an electromagnet. Translated, this means that by adjusting
a potentiometer on the back panel, one can adjust the tension
on the paddles. Nothing mechanical required. Six to 12 Volts
DC is needed for this. There is also a button on the top that
can be used as a straight key, which is useful for tuning an
antenna tuner.

This unit matches the color and styling of the Corsair II,
Omni V and VI, and others of that line. A picture can be seen at

This particular unit works fine and looks very close to new.
$45


TenTec Model 280 power supply, 20 amps at 13 V DC.

This supply is quite heavy duty electrically.
It has 2 pass transistors, instead of the one that
some have. It also has an ammeter on it.

This one works fine, and looks OK as well.
A previous owner removed the molded in TenTec power
cable on the back and added very heavy binding posts,
so that it can be used with many different rigs and
not just TenTec. It also has a couple RCA jacks for
lower power use.

With paper work for $100.


"Switcher / 25" 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. $150


Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
