I think this all the more reason to support the independent guys out there
who are providing good service for the older Ten-Tec radios.
There was a thread recently that mentioned a few of them but I've searched
and can't find their names/contact info. If people know of reliable
service shops/persons etc, please email me the info. I will add a special
section to the Ten-Tec Wiki (at http://tentecwiki.org) and list them. They
deserve some promotion as well as to help folks with older radios get
service and keep these gems on the air!
