It's sold.

> 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.
