[TenTec] 585 paragon

[ROLAND HOWELL]

Hi BobThanks for your reply, I am well into my retirement now, never had any electronics training that's why I ask for a lot of help hi hi, I was in the HM Forces till I was medically retired and still managed to complete 40 years in civilian work, but the a heart problem put paid to that, so I keep busy with my air cooled BMW bikes and radios, trying to stop the grey cell ( yes singular) from atrophying, takes me hours to do what you can do in minutes  of that I have no doubt, so I will be asking for help/advice on several different TT radios.For instance I have the Argonaut 2 535? with a back light problem with it, I even built one off board to see if I can replicate the fault and subsequently cure it, then apply it to the radio, that one didn't work either, back to the drawing board hi hi.have fun73Snowy

 Yes, international shipping is getting very expensive.    I have a piece 
of test equipment which I sold via E-Bay.  When I went to ship the 10 
lbs. packed to Brazil I was quoted $285 and that didn't include 
insurance.  WOW needless to say I declined that purchase.

As I am liquidating all of my shop test equipment, now retired from 
radio repair, I will say that I'm getting fair and acceptable prices for 
each piece of equipment but the packing and shipping is killing me.   
Even using the E-Bay estimator and bumping the number 50% doesn't cover 
my costs.   What gives?

Oh well, at least it puts some new $$$ in the ham radio fund. No sense 
in crying over spilled milk........here kitty kitty kitty.

I'll look for some of those screws.

>  Hi gents.Just had a big shock, sent email to service department at TT, asking for 4 x case screws and plastic washers for my paragon, well it will look the part even if I don't get it working, their minimum order is for $25 + $75 for shipping to the UK, it is lucky I was sitting down I can tell you.So if anybody is junking ( is that the term you use?) or as we say scrapping any of the TT radios that use the big screws to hold top and bottom cases together, please email me with a price and p&p charges.Thanks in anticipation73Snowy
