[TenTec] RED DOT

[Robert Weingaertner]

Fear not. Replacement dots are still available from Ten Tec! When I got
my Paragon some years ago, there was no red dot in the TT logo, although
there was one on the matching power supply. I figured that since it 
is a peel-and-stick item, that it just fell off during packing. I 
mentioned it to Ten Tec when I sent in the warranty card. They mailed
me (free of charge, of course) a new dot!
