[TenTec] Dirty PS connectors

[Ten-Tec Inc. Amateur Radio Sales]

>I would try replacing the molex connector from the power supply. That 
>connector when its old and dirty can produce alot of strange problems. 

Generally, when a rig is here for trade-in or service and acting flaky due 
to a possible power supply issue, one of the first things our techs will do 
is clean out the power supply connectors on the end of the PS cable 
and/or the one panel mounted inside the radio.  It's amazing how many 
radios will spring back to from life from "dead" or erratic just by doing 
this.  We use DeoxIT DN5 spray cleaner for this purpose - it's not 
cheap but it works great.
