[TenTec] parts

[Bwana Bob]

Well, we can't buy too many Heathkit parts, either.  A lot of chips 
simply become obsolete and how many specialized parts like meters, knobs 
and cabinets can we expect any manufacturer to stock?  If the lack of 
spare parts makes one nervous, acquire a parts rig or sell off your Ten 
Tec gear while it still works.

Otherwise, improvise, adapt, overcome!

73,
