A number of years ago I was in Sevierville at the Ten-Tec factory in the
"museum room." Al Kahn was there. I had gotten a used Hercules 444
amplifier to use with my Omni-C. The 444 will automatically bandswitch with
the Omni-C (and I think with the first Corsair model) but I was considering
the Corsair II. I asked Mr. Kahn if the 444 would bandswitch with the
Corsair II... he said he would check and he called Larry Worth into the
conversation to ask him if they could add another wafer to the bandswitch or
otherwise make it work for me. Then Mr. Kahn asked me what kind of rig I
was presently using. I told him I was using an Omni-C.
It was then that he uttered those famous words, "If you've got an Omni-C,
you don't need a Corsair II."
The moral of this story is that anyone who would consider selling his Omni-C
is nuts.

Subject: [TenTec] WTB: OmniC & tale of woe
<expletive deleted>
I sent out a "WTB: Omni C" request here a couple of weeks ago and got two
replies offering "nice" rigs. I accepted the first offer and quickly mailed
off
a money order as the seller requested. A few days later I got an e-mail
from the guy saying "sorry, the rig doesn't have the filter I told you it
had".
A couple of e-mail exchanges later, I agreed to let him keep the entire
amount, just go ahead and send me the rig as is. Now he comes back saying
he
intends to keep the thing and will mail me back my money order. I then
quickly
sent seller #2 an offer to buy his "nice" one, and was told that he donated
HIS
rig to his club fund raiser auction, and that I could go to Conyers,
Georgia
and bid on it... Seller #1 didn't even offer to reimburse my $1.27 (cost
of
money order and stamp)...
That's my little tale of woe.
Anybody got a nice "C" that he is SURE he can let go?
