[TenTec] Advice needed: reasonable valuation on Omni D model 546

[Barry N1EU]

We were valuing a rig with filters installed and I think $50 is correct for
a filter installed when you buy the radio.

I wouldn't pay $75 for a 20 year old TT filter unless someone tested it and
confirmed the passband and gain were in spec or else gave the buyer the
right to return it if it was out of spec.
