[Yaesu] Yaesu Parts availability

[K5XS at aol.com]

I love my Yaesu equipment, and I have a good bit of it.  But I marvel  at the 
contrast between their logistics support to the end user and  Ten-Tec's.  To 
be sure, Ten-Tec runs out of parts for older equipment on  (rare) occasion. 
But in my 20 years of Ten-Tec equipment, I have never  encountered a parts 
issue. I have encountered several with my Yaesu gear.
 
Ten-Tec could learn a lot of things from Yaesu (fit and finish, size  
reduction, etc.), but Yaesu would benefit from some of Ten-Tec's support  delivery.
