One of the reasons it is tuff to get folks to fix TT gear.. is the information
about that particular model may be in question, the parts maybe in a difficult
situation to find, and the time it takes to accomplish an acceptable repair.
Most of the TT repairs are a bit more time consuming than many want to do. Time
is money, therefore the cost gets outta reason.

Thanks for the response. It just seems odd that no former employees advertise
privately to repair Ten Tec gear.
It's getting more difficult to sell a Ten Tec rig due to uncertainty.
Thanks,
