That part of the radio's history was during the previous owners possession. 
He didn't indicate how the problem started but didn't indicate lightning to 
be a contributor.  The radio is a 9 out of 10 as far as cosmetics inside and 
out so nothing spilled, no arc markings or abuse evident.  There was a 
repair attempt by someone and the work was decent...no board damage or 
hackory....:-)
That's about all I know at this point.

just wondering,
 what was the reason, if any, that Ten Tec sent the radio back as 
un-repairable?
lighting hit?
can of pop spilled inside?
Joe ham and his new soldering gun had a try?
just wondering....

Thanks Clayton,
 He was on my list of folks to contact since he was involved in the 
discussions a year or so ago.
 Not sure if he will want to share too much of the secrets he might have 
discovered....:-)

 Cecil: There is a guy near Greenville, SC that works on those things 
among other radios.
You might try an email to glenn@dsmlabs.com and see what he says. He does 
have a
few of the Omni rigs for test jigs.
