- Bob Renfro, K4OF, having noted dead and rough-tuning spots in his
- Century 21 VFO, discovered that Ten-Tec sells a rebuild kit for
- restoring normal operation to deteriorating Ten Tec permeability-
- tuned VFOs (Omni, Triton, Argonaut, etc). I contacted Larry
- Worth, the Service Manager at Ten Tec. Larry confirmed the
- existence of the rebuild kit, but cautioned that the rebuild job
- is not for the faint-of-heart. Ten Tec will be happy to do the
- service for the less experienced and will sell the kit to those
- with service experience. I promptly ordered one for my OmniD. The
- kit consists of bearings, shafts, bushings, the appropriate
- lubricant and a detailed set of instructions. The price is $15.00
- plus $2.00 shipping and handling. Contact the Ten Tec Service
- Department at Highway 411 East, Sevierville, TN 37862, (615) 453-
- 7172. - de KA1CV, Ed Hare, ARRL Laboratory Engineer.
