[TenTec] Corsair value?

[David Drake]

Hi, I believe a couple of these guys are thinking of the Corsair II not the
560.  I"ve had two very nice sets, both bought off ebay in the last two
years.  I sold the second for $475 with the 260 power supply. Both operated
100%, and both had optional filters (1.8 SSB).  The numbers supplied by Ten
Tec are accurate with pwr supply for the 560 original corsair.  However the
Corsair II is more desireable, has a few more features and came with a stock
8 pole first IF rather than a 4 pole in the 560.  The model II also came
with audio filters built in.  Those radios can go in the $700 range.  I
currently have a number of ten tecs hear, but no 560's.  These are
wonderfull radios for CW and for SSB with the 8 pole filter.  As the prices
of new rigs increase, these older TT's will no doubt become more popular.
