Hi,
If you want me to do an estimate, let me know. I have repaired many Ten Tec rigs over the years. You can look me up on the webb. My business is DSM Labs

Hello, how you doing?
My mishuided eBay purchase of this Argonaut 509 with power supply needs to
e looked at first before I spend to have it shipped to get it
econditioned. Ju DL2ZAE  said he will do it - but my fear is that it might
e a piece of junk.
If it is, then I might as well junk it.
Is someone bored and would like to take a look? Am happy to pay onward
hipping plus $ 25 for looking and sharing your findings. If it's BAD, then
 might as well forget it rather than ship it overseas etc.
Or would you take the opportunity to try the service in Servierville?
Not sure how much an Argonaut in good condition is worth? I paid $ 162.50
hipped and the Omni V from Tom N4RS will be $ 685 shipped.
One last Q: Is there a way to turn the Omni V into an Omni VI at the
actory? It's 50 (mhz?) technology and boards are interchangeable, aren't
hey? Should I have the Omni V shipped to the factory? As I keep hearing
mazing things about an Omni VI with all filters.
Mni tnx es vy 73
hris HS/KF6VCI (I kinda like the call in CW and will get on the air tonight
round 7 am Zulu or 23 hours PST on 14.058 mhz. Not sure if I'll work NA,
ut the CW will be  a w f u l, so you all better sleep instead)
