Tempo 1's are not bad little rigs...There were a couple versions Whiteface/Blackface...The Blackface are the new versions...Remember this is a tube rig. There will be learning curve in tuning her up for each band until you get use to it.
They will do about 100-125 watts on each band.The receiver is not bad either.
Good Starter rig IMHO...All the tubes are still available and they are not bad to work on if something dies.
Few items...Did your guy just go thru this radio and it is in good working condition on all bands?
This rig has a external Speaker and Power supply combo...Good working condition?
The $350 price tag it should Look Good and Play 100%...
Had many of these over the years...
One other thing...Does it have the 10m crystals INSTALLED...Those radios worked on 11m but you had to remove the 10m crystals and retune those stages...
I would say check this in most cases as the 10m section is a must for Tech/General operation.
My 2 cents worth
All the Best
