Works Perfect Time Owned: more than 12 months.
This is a review of the SA-2060 Heathkit Tuner.
Which is about the same as the SA-2060A.
I bought this tuner in July of 1982 in kit form.
I was very impressed with the quality of Inductor
and capacitors in the kits tuner circuit. In the
almost 18 years of use it has worked trouble Free. At almost 18 years old I will continue to use it, and see no need to get a new one.

Not for Sale Time Owned: unknown months.
I bought my SA-2060A just as Heath closed them out. I also use mine with the SB-1000 amp with just great performance. The roller inductor is top of the line unlike others on the market.So are the capacitors. No arcing problems with these.
I did mount my balun outside of the tuner in a plastic box outside my shack window. Using the heavy stand off insulators I mearly clip my open wire feeders when I want to use my dipole. Thus I have a quick disconnect.
A friend picked up a mint one for $200 at Dayton. If you can find one grab it and enjoy a top of the line product.

Best Antenna Tuner Ever?! Time Owned: unknown months.
What a beast of a tuner! Quality all the way. From the silver plated straps and roller inductor to the solid copper sheet metal you just cant buy a better antenna tuner. Dual meters and full legal limit plus. I have used my SA-2060A tuner for about 8 years now and it still looks new inside. No burns anywhere on anything. I have a Heathkit SB-1000 amplifer with the tuner sitting on top. I have never been able to make it arc or smoke running full on with the amplifer. I currently run a 160 meter loop antenna with 450 ohm twin lead feed into the 4:1 balun inside the tuner and use it for all bands 160 to 10 meters.
