I've got a Tentec Paragon, OmniVI+, Corsair 2, and the Centurion amp and an
Omni B, plus some of the early QRP gear.
The only issue I had was with the amp, the rest have been flawless and work
great. Early Tentec stuff is kind of iffy from a mechanical standpoint.
String and pulley dials have never been my favorite, but they're wonderful
CW machines. The OmniVI /Centurion amp is a full break-in 1300 watt DX
hunter of the first order. It's my main station and works great with it's
RS232 interface and the ergometrics are vastly improved from earlier rigs
(Corsair, Omni B). I suspect my Omni will still be working as the pile of
unfixable FT1000s failures continues to grow.
I think there's excellent parallels between the design of the TT gear and
Drakes. I love them both and use them often.
