[TenTec] Stripping working Rigs for parts

[K5XS at aol.com]

Paul (& Mark),
 
I am a weasel I suppose, but I plead extenuating circumstances and throw  
myself at the mercy of the group.
 
When I recently bought my Orion II, I surrendered my Omni VI+ as a  trade-in 
to Ten Tec.  Though they offered me far more than I had imagined  they might, 
they offered nothing for the optional filters.  I weaseled and  sold them at 
very reasonable prices below the prevailing rate to a couple of  gents on the 
group.
 
Now excuse me while I go get a bowl of whatever weasels eat.
 
;-)

Mark,
If it is any comfort many of us feel as you do. In fact, we've  even 
coined a phrase for when the owner of a Ten Tec rig takes out all the  
filters and sells them separately. If they have, the rig has been  
"weaseled" because the owner was a weasel for doing it. Of course not  
all agree and I could even be friends with such a weasel, we just 
have  different opinions - it's a big world.  Note that taking the 
filters  out of a non-working rig, or having them as extra because 
they were  replaced by InRads. etc. is NOT  weaseling.
73,
Paul
