[Elecraft] FS: Ten-Tec amp/tuner and accessories.

[Christopher A Kantarjiev]

Drought and beetle kill have taken the antenna supports (incense cedar 
and sugar pine trees) at my vacation QTH, and I'm not spending enough 
time there to justify a tower - so I'm decommisioning the station there.

Ten-Tec Hercules II amp - 550w max out, takes 12v power
Ten-Tec 229B tuner - 2Kw max, will tune anything including your gutters
Autek research WM1 computing wattmeter (with remote sense and illumination)
DCPwr Station-op 6 power pole strip
Palstar 1500W dummy load
rf cabling

Asking $1200 to start ... it's hard to understand how to price such 
things :-)

The Hercules was converted to use high-current power poles instead of 
the sometimes troublesome Molex connectors that the factory provided.

I was set up on the second floor without access to 220v, so this was a 
great setup for me; I would bring my K2 or KX3 as an exciter.

I run this from a deep cycle marine battery (rigged with breaker), which 
also powers a DCPwr Station-op 6 panel (via 8g wire and higher-current 
power poles) and charge it with an A&A Engineering linear battery maintainer

For my duty cycles, this worked quite well, even as a relatively little 
pistol chaser during contests.

This would be a great setup for a remote CQP activation ... (I don't 
have NCCC contact any more, maybe someone could forward this there?)

I have copies of manuals for the Ten-Tec gear. No boxes, sorry. 
Non-smoking shack, good physical condition, all works great.

I'd like to sell the whole setup, but will split it up if that's what it 
takes. I'm in Palo Alto (the gear is currently in Oakhurst but I'm 
headed out there this week and can take more photos or haul it back) and 
I can deliver or meet half way in the Bay Area. I'm not excited about 
packing it up to ship, but let's talk.
