Is there an adjustment pot on the MFJ259b for the freqency counter and
if so, what number is it on the board? Mine seems consistently high, and
the guys in Starkville seem like blinded deer in the headlights when I
called on the subject.


this may or may not help, but at the site,
http://www.mfjenterprises.com/produc...rodid=MFJ-259B they have a
link to "calibration instructions"

The original 259 has the counter on a daughterboard. There appears to be a
trimmer cap on it. Adjusting it is another matter, but it might be
possible to drill a hole in the main board to allow access to the trimmer.

Disassembling the 259 is non trivial, but easier than putting it back
together.
