Fingers crossed - it would be nice for this to work out. It sounds ambitious to move the manufacturing operation to another state and be in “full production” by the end of 2026. I wish them well.
I just bought a used Ameritron ATR-15 tuner. You can probably guess what I did first - I held it up and shook it. And you can probably guess what I heard, too. I’ll open it up and find the rogue nut or washer. I think MFJ had a rule that equipment, but especially tuners, were required to have a loose part.
