TenTec CW Keyer/Paddle, HF Rig, Antenna Tuner, Power Supplies, Desk 
Microphones, and more For Sale:

TenTec 670 Electronic Keyer / Paddle:

The TenTec 670 is a complete electronic CW keyer in one package.
It includes the paddle as well as the electronics, so there is
no need to add a paddle as with most keyers. There is a cable
with two RCA phono plugs on it it -- one for 12 V DC and one
for the keying output. This unit is made to key solid state
rigs (typically switching 12 Volts). It is a sort of chocolate
brown color styled to match the early Omni series A,B, and C,
the TenTec Delta, etc.  The 670 was originally made to match
the Century 21 570, but this one is a late one with the color
changed.

This particular unit works fine, and looks extremely nice.
I can not find a scratch on it.

Paper work included for $60.

TenTec 585 Paragon HF Transceiver:

The Paragon is a top of the line transceiver that includes a
general coverage receiver. It covers 160-10 meters, including
WARC bands, with 100 watts output. The receiver is fantastic.
It has dual VFOs and many memories built in, along with a
speech processor. Basically, it has about every feature that
a ham could want in an HF rig.

This particular unit works 100% as best I can tell. Since the
rig does so many things, I am sure that there is something I
didn't test, but I don't know what it is (or I would have
tested it!). It has had all updates completed by TenTec.

Cosmetically, it is in extremely nice shape. The front panel
is extremely good. Most all of the lettering is clean and
crisp. This one also has the Giehl chip in it making it
similar to a Paragon II.

Large manual and power cord included for $650.

TenTec 238 Roller Inductor Antenna Tuner:

This HF antenna tuner will handle the full legal limit, and will
match almost anything. It is rated to match loads up to 3000 ohms.
TenTec
It is an "L" network, which means that there is only one correct
matching point, and not false readings like some tuners. It has a
roller inductor that permits matching all HF bands, including the
WARC bands.

In addition to the tuner, it also includes a wattmeter with 200
and 2000 watt scales, plus SWR bridge. There is also an antenna
switch built in, so this unit will handle all of your antenna
needs.

This particular unit works fine, and looks extremely nice. I can
not find a scratch or defect on it. With paper work for $395.

TenTec Power Supplies:

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.
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

Astron RS-12 A, 13.8 Volt DC Power Supply:
This power supply is rated at 9 amps continuous and 12 amps ICS.
It is ideal for most 2 meter rigs, including the 50 Watt rigs.
This Astron power supply features solid-state electronic
regulation, EMI filter, fold back current limiting for protection
from excessive current and shorted output, and crowbar over-voltage
protection.
This particular supply works 100% and looks the same. I can not
find a scratch on it. With paper work for $50.

TenTec 705 desk microphone
This electret desk mic has the 4 pin connector, with PTT and
"hold" buttons. It works great, and looks like new.
With paper work for $75.

RCA equivalent to a Shure 444 desk microphone
Although the front of this mic says RCA on it, it looks like a
Shure 444, and has a controlled reluctance element in it just
like the Shure 444.  My assumption is that it is a 444 with an
RCA label.
Of course most of us know that the 444 is an extremely good
communications microphone with great articulation.
This one works fine, and looks very nice.  It has a 4 pin
connector on it. $50

Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
