I'll suggest far more than that:  I'm buying gear which performs well at 
a good price and is made in the United States.  If Ten-Tec were to start 
manufacturing its equipment overseas, it would be eliminating more 
American manufacturing jobs.  I think that would run counter to the 
desires of its late founder, Al Kahn.

Remember what happened to R.L. Drake when some rocket scientist at the 
company decided that it could not afford equipment for vertical 
insertion of diodes and resistors to help it compete against the Japanese.

Let's not be shortsighted.  We need more manufacturing jobs and less 
service jobs.
