I recently sold my 556 Argo Scout to a friend who didn't have need of the modules, microphone, and power supply, so time to sell them as well:

1) For Sale:  Four (4) band modules as a packaged set - 40M, 20M, 15M, and 10M. These four modules came with my previous 555 Scout when I bought it used in 1999. At this time, I'd prefer to try to sell the modules together, such as to a new Scout owner who has need for all four. $200 buys all four modules as a set, including postal mailing in the U.S. (Later, if no one needs all four, then I will consider individual sales, but then the price will go up to $60 for each individual module, mailing included.)

2) For Sale: Model 701 dynamic hand-held microphone. This mic has the 4-pin rounded connection suitable for the 555/556 Scout, 516 Argonaut V, and the 562 6-and-2 meter rig, plus others.  Why buy an eBay substitute if you can buy an original 701 instead? I bought this microphone used with my used 556 Argo Scout directly from Ten-Tec Sales in 2007, and was regularly used by me from 2007 through 2017. The rubberized coiled wiring has taken on a slight milky white patina from aging, but the wiring is not brittle and the microphone otherwise works.  $50 if purchased together with the above four band modules. Otherwise $60 if purchased separately.

3) For Sale: Model 937 power supply. This is Ten-Tec's 7-amp continuous/11-amp IAS linear power supply that was originally sold in the 1990s to power the Scout and other 50-watt or less radios (such as the Argonaut V or 6N2), and will also power the newer 539 Argonaut VI QRP radio.  I bought this power supply used in 2017 (at a time when I thought I was going to be setting up a second complete station that didn't happen), but I have never actually used this power supply except for an initial power test when I received it.  The previous owner put a nice metal handle on one side to make the power supply somewhat easier to carry for uses like a vacation home or a backyard field day.  $60, with shipping included (which will actually be the bulk of the cost due to the weight of a linear power supply).

Payment by postal money order or bank cashiers check is preferred. (I am not set up at all for electronic payment.) Please contact me directly if interested

Cheers/73,
