[TenTec] Boards with obsolete parts

[Joel Hallas]

I can't disagree with Barry in principle, however, a really great company
that gives great service would, IMO, if an aftermarket redesigned PC board
were available, either:

1. Resell them to customers who need one, including perform repairs using
the boards -- good biz and good PR, or at the very least,
2. Point users who need such repairs to the provider.

It's clearly not economically feasible for Ten-Tec to invest engineering
resources in designing a work-around for parts that are no longer available
in a 25 year-old radio.  I might not like it but I wouldn't blame any
company taking that position.
