You're pretty deep into the weeds with the above comments. On the other hand, Terry is right on target. As has been observed, the new owners of the Ten Tec brand bought the assets, but did NOT assume the liabilities. That means that all warranties still are the responsibility of the "old" Ten Tec, which no longer is there to fulfill them.

I have great respect for companies that charge enough for their products to stay in business long enough to support them. When I do biz with them, I never complain about price, which I expect them to set so that they can stay in business. Elecraft is one such US company -- like the old Ten Tec, their stuff is first class, it isn't cheap, and it's very well supported. And unlike big names like Apple, it's actually made in the USA.

You should have NO expectations of FOS with regard to private interactions.

Right.
