[TenTec] FS: ARGONAUT 509

[Ed Worst]

Hello to the List,

I have a Ten-Tec Argonaut 509 for sale (the xyl says I only need one).  This
is a low serial number (S/N 2470) unit with a reed relay T/R switch (I have
the PIN diode mod info if you want to change it).  A copy of the manual, and
an external 4-position active audio filter are included.  (This is not the
original Ten-Tec 208 CW Filter, which has only three positions.) The rig
works on both transmit and receive, and I've been using it in my station for
the past week just to make sure everything is still working.  I'm not a SSB
op, so I have not made any SSB QSO's with it, but I have listened to it into
a dummy load just to check that function, and the audio sounds good.
Transmit power is 2-4 watts.  There is a scratch on the front panel, and one
on the top of the cabinet.  You tend not to notice them as time goes by, but
I wanted to mention them.  I decided to leave them as is because they're
part of the character of this particular Argonaut.  PTO tuning is smooth,
with no backlash.  Pictures are availble if you're interested.  The price is
$200 plus shipping to the first firm offer to buy.  Please contact me
off-list if you're interested.

Tnx es 73,
