[TenTec] Rigs from smoking environments

[Ken Brown]

The priority of reasons I don't want a rig that has come from a smoking 
environment are as follows:

1. They often have a terrible stench.

2. They often have an unattractive yellow brown color.

3. The effects of the smoke may cause failures, particularly in relay 
contacts and potentiometers, sooner than if they had non been exposed to 
the smoke.

Those of you who are habitual smokers can probably scratch number one 
right off the list, because your sense of smell is ruined. I think most 
non-smokers are less concerned about number three than the first two.
