[TenTec] WTB: 4229 Knob

[Carlos PECO BERROCAL]

Hi Ron,

Those are really difficult to find, I have been trying the same for years.

Last week there was a guy selling a lot of Ten-Tec knobs (NOS) on ebay, but
he would not post to VK. I think it was something like $200 and it was gone
in a matter of hours. I expect the buyer to start selling those knobs one
by one.

73,
Carlos VK1EA
