[TenTec] Help needed for ailing Paragon 585

[Ken, W8EK]

Hi Allen,

I have a complete manual for the 585 Paragon available.  It is in a 3 
ring notebook, and includes everything that came from TenTec when the 
Paragon was new, plus a lot of additional info from various articles, 
plus various notes I had.  Probably an additional 50 pages or more. 
Of course the diagrams are included.

$30 plus shipping from Florida.

Would you like it?

Thanks.

73,

Ken, W8EK

> I acquired a very pristine (looking) 585 last weekend at a hamfest. It has absolutely no cosmetic flaws or evidence of use/wear. Maybe that’s because it suffers from a sporadic failure mode that corrupts/distorts both received and transmitted audio. This Paragon is in such good condition cosmetically, that I’d sure like to restore dependable electrical function. Internal visual inspection suggests that the radio is “factory fresh”, with no obvious evidence of anyone having mucked around in it.
