[TenTec] My rare Ten Tec microphone

[Larry Menzel]

It is a good mic, but Scott...it's so dorky looking. I don't use mine as a
result.

Spend a couple bux and package it better.  

Vain...OK, but I know I’m not the only one to notice this.

Scott, it's a great mic and effort on Ten-Tec's part...... That is the 
bottom line.
