AND I paid with my AMEX so I got every penny back in the end. I let them
fight it out with AMEX. You're exactly right....
As far as the balun, I did what I should have done to begin with and made my
own.

This is why you use a credit card for purchases! Simply dispute the sale.
The merchant get's the charges reversed and so do you. MFJ wants' the balun
back? Then they (MFJ) sends a cal tag for ups pickup. Pretty simple. Not a
dime out of your pocket.
As far as then not having the beam balun... I can't help you there.
