[TenTec] Ten Tec 253 Question

[Jerry, N9AW]

The B model of the 422 is the current model that you see on the Ten Tec 
website with the black cabinet.   I'm no engineer but I don't think there is 
much difference in the original model 422 and the new model 422b.  They are 
use a pair of 3-500z tubes.
