Hello Keith, As far as I know Castle are still going but the last time I
heard they had moved to Wales some where, As for the tuner I bought this
second hand from a friend in the Staights, I only paid £58, for it and
what the SGC are asking I just might as well go and buy a new one over
here, I have just been reading a txt file of another Auto tuner from MFJ
model MFJ 928, but it doesn't say about a random length of wire. So I
just don't know which way to go now.
