Ok guys, if you are only saving $10 or $15 smacker off the price of a new
filter, why not save the wear and tear and just get a new filter from
TenTec?

Thanks very much for this warning. Same guy was trying to sell
me filters for my Omni, but not at much of a discount to new
price. Now I will definitely steer clear if there is no positive
resolution of your situation. 

73,

Casey
