[TenTec] Orion II

[Bernard(wtrone)]

    $2200 is an interesting metric considering the Orion II is listed at 
$3995.  $1795 for a used Orion I would be a "steal" for someone.  I suspect 
that they will sell for more like $2500 - $2800 on the used market, if you 
can find one.

    Just one man's opinion.

        73s
