Keith,

I don't think so.  I think I got mine in the late 80s when I got my
751A, and it was used back then.  I was going to sell it when I got
the 480, but changed my mind when I discovered that it worked better
than the 480's automatic antenna tuner.  I haven't figured out a way
to hook up the band switching, but it doesn't really matter since
there's a band switch on the front of the tuner.  Maybe you can find
one used if you are interested.
