In anticipation of buying a new Ten Tec radio, I am thinning out my collection a bit. I have for sale a Ten Tec Argonaut II radio. It was at the factory for service about 2 months ago. The backlight works, and is one of those British replacements. The only known issue with the rig is that it seems to readjust itself so that the transmitter power output is about 10 watts. This makes the display flicker slightly when keyed on CW. The only modification done to it is the routing of the dormant amplifier key line out to one of the rear panel phono jacks. I did this so that it would key my Elecraft VHF transverters. This would also work well with the new Tokyo Hy-Power 50 watt amplifier. Cosmetics are fine. It does show a little wear but works well except for the power issue. It had a new Ten Tec tire on the main tuning knob. I will sent the original factory manual with it, too. The price is $250, paid in the form of a bank or postal money order, shipped CONUS via Priority Mail in the factory box.
