Oh, geesh...that piece of junk still around?
It's "all solid state," alright. It's a toroid and a dummy load built into
a metal case, as the ARRL determined when they X-Rayed it. Cost to build:
Probably $15, including the metal case.
Value: Nothing.
Value to me, if I found a ham using one: Priceless!
