[TenTec] Omni VI+ For Sale

[d.e.warnick at comcast.net]

John, 
I think it is sold. Guy is to pick up & pay on Tue. I'll let you know either way 
I had 3 of them and loved every one. Better than my Corsair II's were. 
Now I run an Omni VII and an Orion II. Neither one beats the Omni VI+ Rx. But I gotta thin the herd 

Congrats on age 76. Hope you have many, many more. Age here is 69 

Best DX & 73

Dave, I have an Omni Six Plus and like it very much. I think I have had it over 20 years. I don't know why, but I feel that I would like to own another one. I have learned that Ten Tec will not accept them in trade because of the age of the gear. Stan Brock, at Ten Tec, told me that recently. 


I am almost 76 and I know your position regarding being shaky. I recently had Cataract surgery and am wearing bifocals for computer, reading and and radio service on "boatanchors". I don't do any repair on my solid state or printed circuit stuff. 

In a bind, my son N5ASM, Extra Class and Engineer can be talked into taking a look at a piece of gear. 

I owned TWO Collins KWM 380 transceivers at the same time, when Rockwell Collins announced that they would no longer offer parts and repair support for the KWM 380. I kinda panicked and sold them both, because I couldn't work on them and N5ASM was spending half of his time flying Coast to Coast as Vice president of engineering for his company. 

I have been licensed for 56 years and my wife, K5MOL, has been licensed for 53 years so N5ASM is a full blooded eligible for registration electronics hound. I have told K5MOL, my business manager ( life manager for 54 years) that I am interested in your Omni VI Plus. She managed a GRUNT, which is a hopeful sign. So much for the Old Fart Filibuster, Dave. 73, John, K5PGW

I have a TenTec Omni VI+ Ser No 12A10277 for sale. 

Fully loaded with the following filters: 

6.3 MHz IF 

Standard replaced with InRad #755 2800 Hz 

1.8 KHz Slot = TenTec #288 

500 KHz Slot = TenTec #285 

250 Hz Slot = TenTec #282 

9 MHz IF 

Standard = TenTec #48058 

N1 = InRad #761 1.8 KHz 

N2 = InRad #753 400 Hz 

Roofing Filter 

InRad Roofing Filter Mod installed with InRad # 763 600 Hz Filter 

This is a true Omni VI+ 

Excellent physical condition 

The caveat, 

While it works perfectly otherwise, both the 17M & 20M bands are dead. This indicates diode D37 on the L.O. board. However, with age, I have developed a quiver in my hands which precludes making a repair. 

Therefore, the rig must go to a better home 

I will sell to USA only 

$800 includes shipping & insurance via FedEX to lower 48 

KL7 & KH6 must pay higher shipping 

I can take PayPal, USPS MO or personal check (check must clear before shipment). 

Of course the manual is included 

Transceiver is sold “AS IS”
