[TenTec] Mega Sale Pricing

[Wade Staggs]

*Bob,*
*        Excellent idea about selling the Auto Tuner. If, the new owner
does not need it. I can tell you honestly that a friend that we recently
helped find an Omni  VI option 3 .... could sell a few of the Filters out
of his radio at $75.00 each and still have a good radio. In this way he
could still have a Great Radio  at Zero Cost to him. The fellow Loves the
Radio so much though that something bad would have to happen in his life,
before one screw from the radio gets sold. I am sure that you know of the
radio/person we make reference to.*
*                               73 to All from Wade/KJ4WS*
