[TenTec] Ten-Tec 229A Tuner Value

[Ron Castro]

Gary:

Check the article on my site at:

http://n6ie.com/Ten_Tec_238.html

It is based on the 238, which is pretty much the same as the 229 and the mod
has worked very well with high power on the low bands where the original
capacitors started to smoke.

Clayton,

Is there a written mod somewhere about replacing the caps and which ones?
Also, did you get the dial cord from Ten-Tec?  My elastic dial cord has seen
better days too.

I bought one at the last TenTec fest for $180.  Did the upgrade to replace
the .01 disk capswith doorknobs and had to buy a dial cord.  I also replace
the #47 dial lamps with LEDs.I would ask $225 this one if I wanted to sell
it.  That thing is the same as the 238 but in adifferent cabinet.  It will
tune a flag pole or anything else you can hook it to.

I picked up a very nice Ten-Tec 229A tuner in a trade.  I was just wondering
what its value might be.

 

Thanks and 73,
