[TenTec] FS: Ten-Tec Model 301 Remote Tuning Encoder

[Ed Tanton]

Don't forget you also need a cabinet of some appropriate size/shape, a nice 
weight to hold it down, and the tuning knob proper. I personally cannot see 
spending all that $$$ for an OMNI VI/or better, and not at least getting a 
decent looking mount for the knob, as well as the right (more-or-less) T-T 
tuning knob to resemble the OMNI VI knob. All told, not $135, but enough to 
not be trivial-especially depending on the optical encoder you get. Some of 
them can get really pricey-and I have no idea what the selection criteria 
would be for a 'matching' encoder. All told, I reiterate: the CORRECT unit 
all the way around (read that:no hassles beyond paying for it & getting 
"Plug-'N-Play" for that money) is well worth that $135... and since they 
are nearly made from the fabled "unobtanium" he who hesitates is-or rather, 
was-lost.
