No, that's him. N8YX goes by his middle name (Fred), at least for RF purposes!

Drop Fred N8YX a note (sorry, I don't have his direct email handy).
He's worked on a few of these, he may know of another source.

Thanks. I will keep an eye out but tentec only made 400 of them and I
am sure many of those are in a scrap yard somewhere.
The company I found will make me one but they have min order of 180
and 30 shipping. Or I can buy 5 for $51 each and shipping will be
around $300.
May have to part the old girl out. I am going to change the motor
drive IC as I have 15 of them in tubes. I have ordered a 24 narrow
socket so I will only have to solder once. I have heard of failures
of
the driver chips so maybe I will get lucky.
Thanks
