[TenTec] Need Info on older TenTec gear?

[Steve Galchutt]

I contacted TenTec's sales dept recently inquiring as to the availability of product info on some of their 
earlier gear. Their response was to dig through back issuses of QST. OK! I don't have access to old QSTs. But, 
yes I think a website w/pics and descriptions would be most helpful for those of us TT affectionados! (I think 
it would be in TT's best interest to have some history of their gear lineage available on their website)

Where when and how do we start! I've published a few websites and have access to scanners, digital camers etc. 
but without the content I'm nowhere.   Steve/N0TU
