[TenTec] FS: Complete Corsair II Station

[Jack Mandelman]

FYI. This morning I checked the output on 20m into a cantenna dummy load 
(SWR=1.5:1). The rig is putting out 95W. The low output on 20m that I 
stated in the ad apparently was due to the fact that it was looking into 
one of my antennas that was not properly matched to 50 ohms.

> TenTec Corsair II station consisting of:
> • Corsair II transceiver (model 561, SN/58001759)
> • Remote VFO (model 263G, SN/26300541)
> • Power Supply/Speaker (model 260, SN/01202)
> • 705 Desk mic
>
> All items are in physically excellent condition (no dings or dents); 
> front panels are beautiful; cabinets have a few minor scratches. 
> Operates as it should (except for 20 meter output which is 50-60W 
> depending on load impedance. About 95-105W out on all other bands). It 
> has never been used or stored in a smoking environment.
>
> Some important points:
> • Both PTOs (Corsair II and remote vfo) are silky smooth and very 
> stable after short warm-up.
> • The Corsair II is loaded with optional crystal filters - in addition 
> to the 2 standard filters, included are:
> TenTec 1.8kHz 8 pole (model 288)
> TenTec 500Hz 6 pole (model 285)
> InRad 250Hz 8 pole (model 751)
> • The 263G remote vfo allows dual receive operation.

> I have consistently received excellent audio and keying reports with 
> this rig. I would be happy to schedule a QSO with anyone interested in 
> hearing this rig first hand. The receiver is very sensitive and quiet, 
> and handles strong adjacent signals as well as many of today’s best 
> rigs (as attested by Sherwood Engineering reports). I can also have 
> you listen to the receiver over the landline.
>
> I’m selling these items as a complete station (will not split at this 
> time). As one of my backup stations, it is rarely used and I would 
> like to make room on the shelf for new toys.
>
> Asking $600.00 + shipping cost to lower 48 for all of the above items. 
> Will ship in 3 original TT boxes + new box for mic. Photos are 
> available on request.
