[MFJ-Ameritron] Lng fr Schematics MFJ259 and tips to adjust it. URGENT

[Juan A. Bertolin]

Hi to everybody,

My MFJ259 is starting to fail, sometimes when you switch on the unit in the 
display you can see 000000.00 and after several times it starts to work but 
progressively, I mean, the frequency starts on 0 and increases until the 
right frequency and after some minutes it's stable on the freq. Therefore 
I'm not sure even that the SWR/Resistance measurement are accurate.

I was looking for the Service Manual of the unit but MFJ Enterprises (JIm 
Shurden) told me that it does not exist.

Anyone would have the Schematics and some tips in order to be able by 
myself to repair the unit??

Thanks in beforehand, now without my unit I'm quite "blind" in terms of 
status of my antenna designs and construction.

Regards

Juan
