[TenTec] Orion I CRT

[K4IA at aol.com]

I had thought intuitively that the wire supplied by TT and the connector on  
the radio was "wimpy."  The wire on my FT-100d is a lot heavier and the  
connector a lot more substantial.
 
I have had to go into the power jack and spread the prongs apart to  get a 
better connection when my screen started to flicker.  I noticed the  connector 
looked blackened.  
 
I wish they had spent an extra 50 cents and used a heavier connector and  
wire.  Anyone else care to comment?
