Hi Dave,
I also have owned and still own a number of Ten Tec Rigs and Equipment.
I
would recommend anyone who buys Ten Tec gear from anyone other than TT to
send it in to TT service and have them give it the once over. I recently
purchased a used Omni 6 and even though it seemed to be ok, I sent it to TT
service. Ten Tec Service realigned and fixed some of the bugs with the rig,
even though it will be going back to TT for the option 3 upgrade sometime
this summer, it was worth sending. The rig was gone only 2 1/2 weeks. If
someone bought one of my TT rigs(which would be a cold day in ...), I would
not hesitate to recommend the same thing.
73, Chris KB3A
