MFJ-969 Manual Tuner, 300 Watts, Factory Cosmetic Second
This is a nice MFJ-969 tuner. It is a factory cosmetic second, which was inspected by the folks at MFJ and given a clean bill of health in May, 2024. 100% operational as designed, but with some cosmetic flaws. The cosmetic flaws I see on this are nominal. The case itself looks clean. There are two screw heads broken off (one on top, one on the side), and the bottom has "SEC" (for second) scratched into the metal, as well as the word "parts". This can be seen in the photos, but unless you turn the tuner upside down, they are not visible.
As a second, there is no manufacturer's warranty, but there is a 30 day warranty (does not cover cosmetics) from FatCat.Parts
Photos are of the actual tuner being sold.
White streaks on the photos are LED relections, not actual white streaks on the tuner.
Power pigtail for the meter lamp is included.
