I disagree if I may. The original Ameritron amps when owned by Prime
Instruments had a great name, top QC and no compromise on parts.
Take an AL1200 for instance  made by both regimes and compare the parts
quality.

MFJ still stands for Mississippi's Finest Junk IMO. You can conjure up
your own version..

Well, if you go by prior performance I again disagree. Mirage quality has
gone down so bad it dont even register. 
If they continue selling previous stock rotator parts it may be OK...just
get them fast before they start looking for "other" sources.
