Look for one of the old Johnson Kilowatt Matchboxes. They have a true

Good afternoon, Fred.

Yeah, I had one of those, sold it several years ago for $300, needed the
money at the time but probably should have hung on to it... :-(

Palstar is probably the best in parts quality, but pricey. Ten Tec has
an L-circuit design. I sent my last MFJ tuner back, a 989d, real iffy
in quality.

Another way to go would be to do a search on eBay; the old Heathkit
2040 tuners still auction at reasonable prices.
