[TenTec] TenTec Digest, Vol 165, Issue 3

[Gary J FollettDukes HiFi]

I used the term “scads” because I have seen new ones posted just about every other ay since the radio hit the market.

That would seem unusual for a very new model, at least it does to me.

When the Eagle hit the market, there was a flurry of adds from people trying to FIND one, not get rid of one.

Let’s see, East Germany put up a wall to keep people in. Some people propose putting up a wall here to keep people out. Hmmmm…
