[TenTec] curiouser and curiouser

[Mike Brown]

Pete, I've found the best way to look for items is to do a
search on "Ten Tec" on EBay. Seems to be the easiest for me
anyway.

I think that item was listed as a Ten Tec Jupiter, so I guess
maybe the search engine at EBay was looking for the first word
to be Jupiter, when it was actually Ten Tec. Just a guess
though!

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.

before the draft board turned him down and two hours before he
hired on with Westinghouse.
