[TenTec] Ruggedized 229 Tuner

["Michael Tope" <W4EF@dellroy.com>]

Ever since I built my Ten-Tec 4229 tuner kit (and subsequently 
fried the balun and ceramic wafer switch),  I have always wanted 
to build a ruggedized version of this tuner. I think the 229/4229 
uses an excellent choice for electrical topology, but it got 
implemented a little on the light side. In any case, looks like 
someone may have beaten me to the punch with this 
commercial offering:

It looks rugged on the outside, but I wonder how solid the 
insides are built?
