[TenTec] TenTec Digest, Vol 143, Issue 46

[Bwana Bob]

Yes, I see that the receiver kits have been discontinued. Too bad. The 
direct conversion and regenerative receivers got top ratings.  I can't 
believe that Ten-Tec was losing money on them.  Maybe it's part of an 
overall downsizing or product  line consolidation.

Any suggestions on where I can find small receiver kits?

By the way, I have a 1254 receiver with the Cholakian mod kit and it's 
great.

I see that the Ten-Tec power supplies and speakers are gone, too.

                             73,

                             Bob WB2VUF
