Sorry to hear that. I bought the parts for my Paragon just last Nov. I had heard that service parts were drying up under the new ownership. Naturally "out of stock, try back at a later date ". Thanks

In many cases, the original supplier of the parts has discontinued specific items.  The new ownership has little to nothing to do with this fact.  Some parts were custom made for Tentec while some we

David, you didn't start a firestorm. To the contrary, you triggered a very important twist on the thread of getting old radios repaired. Fundamentally: forget it. And the lesson to be learned is, it
