[TenTec] Pegasus TX problem redeux and 756pII whining

[jeffrey griffin]

  I also agree that it's looking more like bad finals every day. I was 
thinking of swapping the finals module from my Orion to test...Only 
kidding!
  It was kinda interestering to see the whole process unfold right 
before my eyes...I called TenTec and told them that is was maybe less 
then a year ago that I had origionally sent the Peg in. Paul said they 
would take that into consideration. So I'm shipping the rig tomorrow. 
Thanks for all the input from the group...
 And by the way stop at the ic756pro2 at yahoogroups.com, the thread will 
look very simular here's a comment from that SIG...

   I broke down at Dayton and purchased a PRO II. But, I've noticed 
that there are a lot of people on the reflector complaining about 
various things.  It seems to me a quality control issue for the most 
part.


It's the same all over......
