[TenTec] 1220 2 meter rig for sale

[Ariel M. Elam]

Hi Larry --

I must respectfully disagree with you. I bought an old Icom 28H 2-meter 
rig that had been somewhere there was cigarette smoke. It STUNK. I 
washed it. The cleaning rag had yellow stains on it. Got rid of most of 
the stink and yellow stains.
