This is not off the subject. eBay is a wonderful thing for hams, most of whom 
are "natrual traders". PERSONALLY, I have bought and sold about 2 dozen pieces 
of TEN TEC items on eBay. They range in price from a few bucks to the better 
part of $1000. So yes, it is appropiate to this group.!Larry GreenbergN5BEA---
