After doing much sould searching, and realizing that my antenna situation 
at home REALLY blows chunks all over the place, AND that in the last 
month I've made 

a few hundred mobile HF QSOs 
maybe three QSOs from home

as a result, I've decided to focus more on my mobile operating and build 
up my test bench a little bit.  Maybe a signal generator, maybe a nice 
soldering station, maybe a service monitor...

FOR SALE: 

(1) mint condition Ten-Tec 562 OMNI V HF xcvr.  With optional FM board.  
Nary a scratch (it's my baby and has been babied).  Installed updated 
firmware last year.  Installed voltage regulator board for frequency 
stability.  Covers 160-10 meters including WARC.  ALC board currently set 
for variable power output from 1.0 - 88 watts.  Notch filter, passband 
tuning, noise blanker, built-in fwd/ref/swr/Ic meter, speech processor, 25 
memories, 2 VFOs, AF tone control, BIG & EASY TO READ display.

This receiver was compared with a friend's OMNI VI last year and the 
receiver performance was virtually identical.  Electronic full-break-in 
CW.  Unit adjusted for roughly 650 Hz CW offset.  Comes with manual with 
LOTS of notes in it and original box.  Comes with stock 2.4 kHz filter.  
I've got other filters but am hesitant to sell them because I don't know 
if I'll need them in the future.  The 7-10 MHz bandpass filter sometimes 
doesn't switch in on power-up.  A quick flip of the T-R relay gets it 
back, and keeps it there.  The clock has NEVER kept accurate time.  Oh 
well.  It's a radio, not a clock.

It is "the best receiver I have ever used."  
99.9% of xmit time has been at < 25 watts output.

(2) mint condition model 961 22 amp power supply with speaker.  Perfect 
match to the OMNI V.  Has two accessory 12VDC jacks as well, power switch 
on front panel.  Comes with original box and manual (if I can find it).

(3) near-mint condition model 238 2 kW roller inductor L-type antenna 
tuner.  Switches three coaxes, plus a random wire OR balanced line 
through a rather large balun.  Fwd/Ref/SWR displayed.  Lighted meter and 
dial indicator with 12 VDC.  Have photocopy of manual.

Prices:

Ten-Tec gets $1225 for the OMNI V as a used radio without the FM board.

New, the power supply goes for something like $275, and the tuner goes 
for $380.

I'm looking for

OMNI V with optional FM board, etc.     $1125  (less than 1/2 of a new O-VI) 
Model 961 power supply                  $ 200
Model 238 antenna tuner                 $ 275
---------------------------------------------
Total                                   $1600

Offers considered, and will consider breaking up the station ONLY IF the 
rig sells first.
