TenTec Argosy ll 525 D
 
A loacl has one of these for sale, including PSU , and has asked me for a
valuation.

I have suggested that he offer it for £150 as it is a pre-WARC 50W CW / SSB
TRX.
without Top Band.

Has anybody here any idea of its value, considering that such excitement
as an FT450-D is available with many more facilities for only £450?


(I paid about £300 for my Argosy l about 30 years ago)

450d doesn't excite me much ...

Did it come with a complete manual? Did you blow it up?

Having googled exhaustively for 525 sales of the past couple of year, it
seems
that with the TenTec PSU and also the narrow Xtal filter that £200 seems
to be about the mark to advise him?
