Ten-Tec Model MR-1 Module Group First Amateur Radio Product Sold by Ten-Tec New in Box #1
The Kit is complete and still in the original box with all parts and manual.
This is arguably the most collectable Ten-Tec item.
My friend found this unused kit after looking for several decades, and paid much more than my asking price.
I am selling this item for a friend who collected Ten-Tec gear for many years,
it is sold as is, as described and all sales of unbuilt kits are final.

The Ten-Tec Model MR-1 is a rare vintage modular kit from the late 1960s (around 1968-1971), produced by Ten-Tec as a set of four basic modules (TX1 crystal oscillator/PA, AA1 audio amplifier, VO1 VFO, and another module like G2/G3) designed for building a simple QRP (low-power) transceiver, typically for 80m and 40m bands. It was the modular version of the Power-Mite 1 (PM-1), which was the fully assembled transceiver based on these modules.This kit allowed hobbyists to construct a basic direct-conversion CW transceiver at home, often on a small board with a tuning knob included. It was one of Ten-Tec's earliest products, predating their more famous Argonaut and other lines.

Ten-Tec T-Kits are high-quality amateur radio kits produced by Ten-Tec, an iconic American company founded in 1968 (originally as Tennessee Technology) in Sevierville, Tennessee. Known for manufacturing reliable HF transceivers, receivers, and accessories, Ten-Tec became legendary in the ham radio community for its innovative designs and excellent performance.The T-Kit line (introduced in the 1990s and continued into the 2000s) offered affordable, beginner-friendly projects for hams and experimenters. These kits focused on QRP (low-power) equipment, including single-band CW transceivers (like the popular 1300 series for 20m, 30m, 40m, etc., with models such as 1315, 1320, 1330, 1340), regenerative shortwave receivers (e.g., 1253, 1254), direct-conversion receivers, antenna tuners, transverters, wattmeters, and modular boards for custom builds.They were praised for being easy to assemble, well-engineered with high-quality components, and delivering solid performance once built—often outperforming commercial gear in their price range. Many hams built their first radios with T-Kits, and they remain sought-after by collectors and builders today.Your unbuilt T-Kits are rare collectibles, offering a fun project or a piece of ham radio history!
