>>> Tentec Paragon II station for sale. Model 586. This is a highly
>>> desirable Paragon II model and is considered an equivalent to higher
>>> priced transceivers today. It has all the available filters installed
>>> and is supplied with the matching Tentec 961 power supply/speaker and
>>> Tentec desk mike. Also, the original boxes and manual are available.
>>> The station was operated in a non-smoking environment. The receiver is
>>> general coverage, 300 Khz to 30 Mhz. Modification to allow the
>>> transmitter to operate between 1.8 and 30 Mhz has been made, thus it
>>> covers the new 60 meter band.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> Equipment is in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition and has no
>>> scratches. The station clock is erratic at times, but this does not
>>> affect the operation of the transceiver.
>>>
>>> Will consider selling Paragon II by itself.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> If you are a C.W. operator, this is your dream set-up. Price $900.00
