[TenTec] Model 301 Optical Encoder

[Troy Wideman]

I ordered mine last Friday and it's " in the mail". Then I stopped at the
local RS and looked for the #278-888 shielded cable. I couldn't find it on
the rack , so I asked the clerk and was told " Oh, that stuff was
discontinued, but, you might find some on the close out table"; I did, they
had two packages.
Sure hope the "mail" gets here soon.
