I do work on all Ten Tec models but, of course, I am limited when I cannot get
parts.
I find Ten tec radios, except for the Argonaut 5, to be pretty easy to fix.
Poor documentation is the main reason for problems with the later Argonauts.
I will be taking on more work after December 31 as I am retiring from formal
employment.
