Default MFJ - Mighty Fine Junk or good stuff

I havent purchased any MFJ stuff for years now.
Last time I purchased something I was not really happy with the
quality. Can anyone tell me if they have upgraded or is the stuff
still Mighty Fine Junk!


Do you mean:

Do they still use thermoplastics for coil supports and roller inductors
so that the components are damaged if they get hot?

Do they still leave loose bits of solder, wire, nuts etc inside completed
euipment?

Do all their instruments that claim to indicate PEP power actually work
on SSB telephony?

Do the meters on MFJ antenna analysers still fall into the case if you
make the mistake of gripping the analyser with thumb pressure on the
meter?

Do they still use hard-to-get incandescent lamps to light meter
movements?

Do they take a month to respond to spare part enquiries, and then make a
partial response that is of no use?

Do they still use plated steel parts that don't withstand weather for
more than a year or two on their antennas?

Do they still ship linear amplifiers with a circuit diagram that is so
shabby, it defies unambiguous interpretation?

Are they still buying up other manufacturers to apply their "quality" to
the whole market?
