[TenTec] Omni VI mystery

[K8JHR]

It is manifest this little peccadillo is sufficiently annoying to induce 
you to fix it.   And why not?  I think you should fix it and enjoy the 
heck out of it when it returns in a week or so.   The cost of repair 
will be far less than the price of any new rig of any stripe.

Otherwise, you may not not enjoy the rig at all - especially if you 
gotta futz with it to get it to work.  You cannot just sell it without 
mentioning the problem, unless the buyer has the opportunity to inspect 
the goods with a reasonable chance of discovering the problem, himself, 
before closing the deal.  You can either eat the cost of repair now, and 
enjoy the rig as it is supposed to be;  or slice the cost of repair off 
the sale price.

Moreover, TT recently returned the rig with a clean bill of health, I 
predict TT will take very good care of you in resolving this issue.  I 
had a similar issue on a repair order, and TT was super fair about who 
at what on the final invoice.  It was such a good experience, I 
considered the purchase of a used Orion II a good risk.

Just MY take...
