Hey Guys,
This thread has degenerated all the way down to "Joe HT" and I haven't a
clue who or what Joe HT is. Normally, for better or for worse, everything
originating in the states [eventually] makes it over here in Europe. Either
this Joe guy is still crossing the Atlantic or else I've missed something.
Tnx.

They also didn't use gold knobs or a titanium cover. Oh, boo-hoo,
Ten-Tec cut corners on my Orion. Please, guys, making financial
decisions to hit a marketing window doesn't imply "cutting corners."
Pretty soon we'll be back to the chrome dial skirt discussions. The
value of the radio is its performance, not how pretty it looks (even tho
this may make Joe HT all fluttery.)
