[TenTec] Re: New Titan 3 DOA, CONCERNS

[DennisKT5D at aol.com]

        During a Ten Tec tour last month Stan commented that the Titan was 
built by one person, a gentleman that is an RF engineer. He builds one a day and 
he is the only person assembling the amp at the factory. He is also 
responsible for testing the amp. I found that quite interesting. I expected a situation 
where more people were involved with assembly and more units were produced 
but apparently demand isn't that great for the Titan at the moment. I own a 
Titan model 425, the older amp, and have had no trouble with it. 
       I agree with the observation that the tape idea is a bandaid, not a 
permanent fix. The tape and adhesive can get very soft when the amp heats up 
causing it to deform or slip off entirely. If it were mine, screw replacement is 
definitely in order.
