[TenTec] Radio Shack 25 amp switching supply?

Hi Paul, and the bunch:
       Sorry to burst anyone's bubble about the power supplies "made by Ten 
Tec." 
       When I had some problems with a switch on one of my two "Ten Tec" 
power supplies, I talked with the guys in Sevierville to ask if they could 
send me a replacement. I was told that indeed, anything which bore the TT 
label they guaranteed and warranted. However, I was told quite kindly that 
they did not make those two power supplies themselves. Instead, they buy them 
from a different manufacturer, put the TT label on them, and sell them under 
the TT name. They offered to write to the manufacturer to see if an alternate 
switch would be available. Or I could return the PS to TT for a replacement. 
Instead, I chose to examine the switch myself, discovered it had been 
installed improperly, and righted it. Working fine ever since then. A lot 
cheaper than shipping from Oklahoma City to Sevierville.
       I do not know which TT power supplies you all are talking about, but 
the two I have apparently were made elsewhere. That's OK with me. I'd rather 
have a TT label on things with their backup than the same equipment bought 
elsewhere. I suggest you verify this for yourselves. My 72 year old brain has 
been known to scramble data meant to keep separated.
