 This is not off the subject.  eBay is a wonderful thing for hams, most of whom are "natrual traders".  PERSONALLY, I have bought and sold about 2 dozen pieces of TEN TEC items on eBay.  They range in price from a few bucks to the better part of $1000.  So yes, it is appropiate to this group.!Larry GreenbergN5BEA--- On Thu 07/15, Ten-Tec Inc.
