[TenTec] Type and Size of the Tentec Transformer

[Paul]

Folks,
I guess this is old knowledge and not worth wasting "bandwidth on" so I will
graciously move along and not be a pest by asking these or making any more
Inquieries here.  I could not nave learned as much any where else on the
internet -- I tried and it wasn't avaiable.  I surely have not seen this in
any of the threads before ---all who have responded  Thanks. To those I whom
felt it a bore or " alot of bandwidth" on the subject,   I appoligize for
wasting the space.  To those searching the net and stumbling on this---I
hope it helps you too decide and learn.
Paul
Aloha
