I have for sale, a Ten Tec Jupiter w/ built-in antenna tuner.
It includes:
1. Ten Tec power supply, Model 963. (w/schematic).

It has never been upgraded since I bought it. Mainly, because shortly after I bought it, Ten Tec came out with some upgrades, that I would have had to send the unit in to completed. i.e. CW Decoder. more Memory, and a different colored display.

I am asking $600.00 for it. If interested e-mail me at:
