Dear Ed (N5EI):
Thanks for the correction. The last time that I went to MFJ's WEB
site, I was no longer able to see the tuner's schematic. I should have
made a better record when I was able to see the schematic. One does not
think of that until the manufacturer removes what should be an important
part of their advertising. I had remembered the configuration as having
only three reactances with two of them being ganged (and a BBC (big bad
choke) at the input)

The tuner described seems to be electrically what MFJ is now selling as
their balanced tuner.

There's a couple of them to be found on this web page:

If I understand correctly, the MFJ tuners have double balanced T networks
and
not double balanced Ls. The double balanced L has a number of advantages
over
the double balanced T, especially if the capacitor can be moved from input
to output,
e.g., the new Palstar or the Bliss tuner. This provides a low pass effect
as
well.
Since on the MFJ, the inductor is the shunting element, this is a
high-pass
network and
helps to encourage harmonics.

Ed, N5EI

The manual, including the schematic, is available as a

Dear Cecil:
You are correct. A schematic for the 974 and for the 976 may be found
on MFJ's site (at least this morning).
I do not have a clue why I did not find the schematic for the 974 the
last time that I looked.

Here is the link to the manual for the 974: (schematic is on page 8)

If you are referring to the MFJ 974H, I printed out a schematic for
that some months ago. Glad I did, now that it is no longer available on
their web site.

If you really want a copy, I could scan it and email the .jpg file to
you.

Because there is a French ham reading this group, and he is a part
time "mime". He wants his messages in "mime" format.

I think I know him - is his handle "Jambon"?

Butch, its not necessary, as has been noted in this thread. MFJ DOES
have the schematic available on their site.

Check: http://www.mfjenterprises.com/man/pdf/MFJ-974H.pdf

Its on page 8.
