Topband: Tuner

[Jim Murray]

Many thanks to all for your input on possible tuners.  I decided to get a Ten Tec 238 and give it a try.  A gentleman on Ebay was selling a complete TT station and was good enough to sell me the tuner alone at a reasonable price.  It seems to be a long time favorite and with a little modification it should tune 160 fairly well.  Oddly enough, years ago I had one of these and remember putting a new dial cord on it.  Don't recall what happened to it.  I know I didn't pay $800+ as I see TT new parent company is getting for the latest version.  The prices these days for the high power tuners is unbelievable.  I paid $325. for the 238 which electronically is very similar probably to the new version.From correspondence with the seller I am confident the tuner is ok.  Thanks again
