[TenTec] Reputable dealer vs Hamfests

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

At the risk of trashing my already shady reputation, I will say that most
hams today cannot even judge if their radio (or scope) is working properly
or not.  So they may sell it to you in good faith and you still find out it
doesn't work right.

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
