This is a very nice antenna tuner, but the going price is more like 
$250-$275.  The only things that go wrong with these tuners are 1) the 
dial cord eventually rots, and is a PITA to replace; and 2) If you run 
full legal power into some antennas it's possible to smoke one or two of 
the fixed capacitors. Unlikely unless you're a heavy contester or like 
to rag chew on AM for hours on end. The caps are easy to replace.
