Dennis – I’ve had an ATR-30 for almost 20 years.  About 5 years ago, it had to have a new roller inductor, and a little before that I had to put a new meter lamp in it.  That’s the only work it’s ever had.  Works like a champ.

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.
