Speaking of GDO, I have a Heathkit 1250 like new in the plastic carrying
case and all coils, and manual. All looks like new and works perfect.

John,
A good one if the Hethkit solid state model. I forget the model number
for sure but you'll know it when you see it. It will have a green front
on it and a rectangular meter. I think the model is a 1250 but dont hold
me to that. It will also be in a gray plastic case with about 6 coils
which are color coded. The coils have a RCA jack on them for the solid
state model. The old tube type Heathkits are grey in color, a round
meter, have larger coils, and come in a cardboard box. The MFJ aint too
bad as I have one of those also. Actually MFJ dont make them but an
Asian company does. The same meter was used by Leader Instruments too.
The old Millens will be getting hard to get parts for so you might want
to watch on those. There's also only one model of these thats solid
state too, the rest being tube. There's several other brands but I think
the best is a Military model made which was a two piece unit. It was
tube type though but built like a tank. I forget the model number for it
now. On eBay, you can expect to pay up to $50 - $75 for a good clean
Heathkit or a MFJ used. The new MFJ is around $125 I think. Hope this
helps.
Best,
Will
