There's a "Tempest" Dovetron listed on Ebay (being offered from Israel
for $150)
that's not a Tempest model. It has the standard HV loop supply
connections.
However, it does not have the regenerator/speed converter (judging by
the
controls on the front panel). The converter seems to have seen better
days.
No worth the asking price....

As a reminder....ALL Dovetrons have a power transformer with the HV
winding
required or the HV loop supply. And, the circuit board has the
connections for the diode rectifiers
and the filter capacitor. All that's needed is the simple transistor
keyer that's
shown on www.rtty.com to make a Tempest unit capable of keying a TTY.
