MFJ has a dubious quality reputation from comments around these parts. They
make Ham quality stuff and you must expect that. I'm not saying it's bad,
just not gold plated and super high quality. Remember quality = $$.
(thought he converse isn't always true) My roller inductor developed an
intermittent after a few years and I had to solder one of the contacts -
hard to get to, but the thing works ok as far as I can tell.
I have an older one, I think 986, two knob "T". It has matched my 40M
dipole on 75!

I notice in the new 2006 MFJ catalog there is listed several roller
inductors, turns counter and crank, among various sundry parts for
homebrewing. Their prices seem to be most resonable....wonder how good
their
quality?
I am looking to procure a roller inductor, turns counter plus crank for a
homebrew ant tuner.
