[TenTec] OMNI 6

[Carlos PECO BERROCAL]

Well,

That parts Omni 6 shares some bits with your 6+, which is interesting.

However, ask yourself how much a non - Ten-Tec enthusiast would pay for a
non-functional, incomplete, discontinued, rare and old radio. I say this
because us Ten-Tec enthusiasts are regularly approached by people trying to
rip us off ("hey, a Ten-Tec nerd, he'll pay top dollar for this junk, it
has a red-dot logo in the front panel")... you know what I mean.

So it could be a partial source of spares for your Omni 6+, but stay cool
and don't end up paying silly money.

73,
Carlos VK1EA
