Peter;
 I don't think that they are, the 40-140T is basically the cheaper or "stripper" version of a model 40-145, without pushbutton tuning. Personally I would not consider paying anywhere near $80 for one, it's not really a model that appeals to me, and is full of rubber/gutta percha covered wire that likes to deteriorate, including in the IF transformers. 
Regards
Arran
