[TenTec] Brand new Omni 7 broke already!!

[Mike Chatfield]

I also got a Omni VII on the mega sale. I had a problem with the AF/RF 
and one other knob (I forgot which one). The AF/RF control had the same 
symptom as your's, the other one was really loose.

I sent it back to TT and they replaced them. However after I received it 
back I decidced to send it back under the 30 day return terms.

TT service did a 1 day turnaround on the fix, I had it within 5 working 
days, as always TT has great service.

It looks to me that TT changed vendors on the encoders and the quality 
is just not there. I also have an Orion II and the encoders are night & 
day different from the Omni VII, they are not loose or bind up in any 
way and work perfect.
