Oh, that sucks. On the other hand, a lot of their stuff is made to last. Like, I can’t see much going wrong with like their tuners and stuff like that very easily. I have an MFJ 902 manual tuner that does 150 watts that the thing will just keep working and working until the dials won’t turn.
Hopefully someone or some other business will buy them. Hate to see them go.
MFJ hardware was part of my start in amateur radio. Thanks for being a part of those wonderful memories (although I do not expect MFJ to see this comment).
ATR 30 3KW tuner here, along with a Vectronics dummy load and several antenna switches. Tuner handles 1.2 KW From Ameritron AL 572 amp all day long. Low cost vacuum tube amps will be the big loss for new hams.
