Do you still have the FT101E setup too?
After that thread, which is the bug that bit & got me back into it, I brought my HF stuff back in out of storage. For a birthday present to myself I bought a new MFJ 941E antenna tuner and their ready made G5RV antenna plus a couple fresh feedlines. Soon enough we had good late season hard spitting snow day so I hurried out & got the antenna rigged up before it quit (because that's antenna weather) and the little old FT-747GX is outfitted with the latest mods and all working great.
I have an FT-200 (Tempo One) also. The Tempo branded version was somewhat popular in the US in it's day, but lots more folks opted for something like a Kenwood TS520 that outdid just about anything in the price range in almost every way. I guess I like my stuff simple the FT-200 is pretty basic (like your Collins but Moocho Cheeper and probably not anywhere near the receiver). I put it on the air and it still works great & has full rated power out. Doesn't really fit in though for what I want either as a main or backup rig because at this point I want to keep all emergency power capable. So my intention for it is to give it a cosmetic workover and sell it, and use the proceeds to help pay for a more modern and somewhat more full featured HF rig. It'll be a workable HF rig for some beginner, as it was for me, and it's sure to go cheap, though I would not be surprised to get back every penny I paid for it 27 years ago.
