You're pretty deep into the weeds with the above comments. On the other 
hand, Terry is right on target. As has been observed, the new owners of 
the Ten Tec brand bought the assets, but did NOT assume the liabilities. 
That means that all warranties still are the responsibility of the "old" 
Ten Tec, which no longer is there to fulfill them.

I have great respect for companies that charge enough for their products 
to stay in business long enough to support them. When I do biz with 
them, I never complain about price, which I expect them to set so that 
they can stay in business. Elecraft is one such US company -- like the 
old Ten Tec, their stuff is first class, it isn't cheap, and it's very 
well supported. And unlike big names like Apple, it's actually made in 
the USA.

Right.
