[TenTec] Reputable dealer vs Hamfests

[Bill Harris]

I remember when (many moons ago) you would attend a swap-meet and be pretty assured that the items you bought was as stated by  reputable seller's who were, mostly,  original owners. Over time, with the influx of  "2nd hand dealers"  this is no longer the case.
Some say it's the sign of the times.  Score: Dollars 10...Integrity 4?

Carry-on
