[TenTec] tuners

Someone got a great deal, presuming it was in good condition 
internally.  As to the dial cord, that is 1/2 hr of time and $0.50 in 
materials.

The biggest improvement which can be made and should be made with this 
series is to replace the disc ceramic capacitors {8 of them} with some 
real RF rated doorknob capacitors.  This takes about an hour and $25 in 
parts.  The SWR drift issue with high power will be eliminated in doing so.

Yes, I'd say a clean working 238, any version,  should be easily worth 
$275 or more.
