I wouldn't buy anything from surplus sales without carefully 
checking the prices other places.

As for edgewounds, the inductor in the ATR30 does not have 
the voltage rating to handle a 3X3. It is wound in house at 
MFJ. MFJ actually sells things to other retailers or 
wholesale/surplus vendors.

Edge wounds should be pretty easy to find and be $75 or less 
for a good used one. I only pay about $300-400 for brand new 
ones from Johnson/Multitech. They are everywhere, I'd bet I 
have two dozen or more in the barns here.
