Well, at least Ten-Tec is in business and services everything they
have made.

Unless it's been struck by lightning or something, it might be okay --
but obviously a gamble. I guess it'd depend on how close the auction
gets to $4 grand.

The radio I bought from that particular seller had a street price (when
new, in 1982, with options) of $10 grand. Of course I didn't pay that
much, my actual price was a very tiny percentage of the new price, but
I still regarded it as a large chunk of money.
