& on that note, anybody want to buy a relatively new, little used MFJ-956?

This would be for general coverage and DXing.

Thanks.

If you're tuning an unbalanced, random-length wire, the MFJ 16010
L-circuit tuner is fine, and is only 49.95

For a balanced antenna, a dipole, say, the MFJ 901B Versa Tuner
would
work -- it's 79.99

The MFJ 956 preselector/tuner is another possibility

I have found the 956 to be useless on my DX394 w/Eavesdropper antenna,
does
absolutely nothing for or against reception/signal.

For the bored swl they offer an opportunity to twirl some knobs, but
that's about all they do.

Completely agree.
