[TenTec] curiouser and curiouser

[ac5e at comcast.net]

The saga of the fishy Jupiter gets more and more curious. Being even more 
inquisitive than Kritter the ham shack cat I did the following..... 

First, manually cleaned my internet cache. 

Tried the link again with negative results.  Recleaned cache. 

Went to E-bay and logged in. 

Went to ham radio, trancievers, other; search "jupiter," nil, de nada, zip. 

Went to trancievers, search "jupiter," "jup," ten-tec, tentec, ten, nil.

Went to "ham radio" search "jupiter,"  nil. 

Went to ham,cb,etc.,  search, nil

Went to consumer electronics, search jupiter, return - two items not Amateur 
Radio related. 

Went to browse, search jupiter, returned about twenty pages of non-ham related 
items, no Ten Tec. 

Logged off E-bay.

Cut and pasted the url, got an "invalid" page.  Clicked on search on that page, 
manually entered the number and got the fishy offer of a Jupiter.  Noted that 
it's supposed to be in the "trancievers,other" category I just left. Reread the 
description, was as I remembered from last night.  

It reminded me then and now of some of the deals I saw go down in my mis-spent 
youth. Too good to be true - so it almost certainly isn't.  And it does not come 
up for me on the Ebay.com site.

So it's still what Shorty Breck succintly called a "reptile in the woodpile."  
Although the small one  said it with a Berliner accent  he suddenly lost 
December 7, 1942.  About twenty minutes before the draft board turned him down 
and two hours before he hired on with Westinghouse.
