Re: [TenTec] OMNI 6

Good morning Snowy.

The wife and I have both received our 2nd COVID vaccine.  We still take 
precautions when going out into public by always wearing a mask and 
using hand sanitizer as needed.  As my mother always said; "don't touch 
that, you don't know where its been".
Sounds as though the radio was likely used as a parts radio and what's 
offered is the carcass with a few parts still attached. Those old radios 
are good if they are working.  Otherwise, one needs to be creative to 
find and replace defective or missing parts.   Of course there are those 
folks that are collectors and are aficionados of Tentec radios.   I say 
better them than me.
Stay well and stay safe.
