Greetings all,

I have a few older Ten-Tec pieces that are in the process of going up for 
sale. The problem is, there hasn't been much "action" that I can find to 
establish a price point. (Here's the first part of the list: some of it is 
mine and some of it is my dad's which he no longer can use due to being in 
assisted living. There will probably be more items in the future as I 
continue to sort through things.)

The list so far:

1. Analog Argosy, mid-production, nice physical condition, no mods, has noise 
blanker installed, was working the last time it was used but has been sitting 
for several years. (There is currently a "nibble" on it, so I definitely need 
a value on this one.)

2. 225 PS to match Argosy - very nice condition, again was working but has 
been sitting for several years.

(I did briefly power up the above pair a couple days ago (on RX only) and at 
least that much seems to work OK.)

3. 283 VFO for Delta 580, again very nice condition, from what I know it was 
last operated by Ten-Tec service probably a decade (?) ago. Needless to say, 
the PTO needs attention - but the upside is that it has spent much of its 
life in a sheltered environment away from the "hazards" of the operating 
desk.

I can probably provide some pics if desired. Any value estimates?

TNX/73, Al
