I would probably put it in the same price range as a Heathkit SA-2060A or maybe a little higher due to the fact that it has vernier drives on the capacitors. So all positives except if you get one that someone broke the solder joint that keeps the inductor shaft spinning. This tuner reminds me more of the PalStar or Nye Viking than any other Dentron tuner I have seen. Tuning is very repeatable with the 6:1 vernier drives on the capacitors. The roller inductor has a grooved wheel that rides on the inductor with small tension clips. (not too difficult taking the inductor out and fixing it) Someone had obviously not payed attention to the directions and tried to roll it past 00.0. The one I got needed the shaft on the roller inductor resoldered. The roller inductor is well made with a ceramic core and a vernier drive with 1/10th scale per turn! That's 10 clicks per turn on the counter. I was looking for a high quality heavy duty tuner and this more than fit the bill.
