[TenTec] TenTec Digest, Vol 234, Issue 6

[Wolfgang Peringer]

Hi Bernie,

nothing plugged into the serial port. I will measure the current and 
check the components next. Takes a lot of time to keep the old stuff 
working but I love it. Just repaired my KWM-2A and Drake TR-4310. TR-7A 
and Heathkit MR-1/MT-1 are on the bench.

73s
