[TenTec] 2591

[Shawn Upton]

Hmm, that's interesting to know.  The seller claimed
that he verified that the units worked, by powering
them "on the cigarette lighter"--I'm assuming he used
a non-current limited 12V supply to the battery pack. 
Hope those EPROM's aren't toast!  Maybe tonight I can
rig up a charger, and rebuild that battery pack, and
see if it works.
