I second your Motion.
My experience with Gary Green has been equally pleasant
and productive. I have assembled several TT Receiver Kits
and he fielded all of my questions with grace and good humor.
Moreover, the other service guys have been equally helpful
and pleasant to deal with. Stan in Sales has been pretty
darned helpful, too.

I have a Ten-Tec OMNI V that I resurrected and everything works except
the far left digit on the display was always on - even when only 6 of
the 7 digits on the display should be on, as on 1.8, 3.5, 7 Mhz. I
assumed it was a problem on the Display Driver Board, which plugs in
right behind the digital display.
I called Ten-Tec Service and talked to Gary Green, who is the OMNI V
"Guru". He immediately said: cut 3/16" off of the top 3 pins on the
left side connector of the Driver Display Board (as you look from the
front and top of the radio), and that will fix it. I just pulled the
left connector out a bit from the top and VOILA - left display digit
went out ! When Band switched to the bands where it should be on, it is
! Problem Solved ! I will take the front panel off, pull out the board
and clip the top 3 pins as Gary instructed. It appears that the pins are
too long and go throughinto the circuitry of the Flourescent Display
Board and short something.
Another example of the great service from Ten-Tec. And it cost me $0 to
fix. I told Gary that we are lucky he is the resident Ten-Tec repair
Genius and I hope he lives and works there forever ! - At least for my
lifetime !
