[TenTec] Ten-Tec used/demo gear list October 9, 2009

[Bill Rowlett]

The term "Closet Kilowatt" refers to the cabinet and not the station equipment. "Closet Kilowatt" is the name given to the 19" high by 21" wide and 18" deep color matched cabinet. They had rack mounting kits for the Omni V or Paragon, Hercules II, Titan, model 253 auto tuner or model 238 manual tuner. 

 

Have a good weekend and 73,
