Ten-Tec trivia:
SLEP Electonics in Western North Carolina was the last Ten-Tec dealer.
Bill Slep (SK) was a fine gentleman and had a very large warehouse full
of modern and boatanchor ham gear plus test equipment.
AES, HRO, Burghardt-Amateur and Ross Distributing were among the major
Ten-Tec dealers until Ten-Tec implemented "factory direct amateur sales"
in early 1990's (?).
