Anyone ever gotten an MSD product like this? They have some of their ignition boxes for sale pretty cheap that are "factory refurbished".
From MSD.....
"This is an official MSD Factory Reconditioned product listing.
Factory Reconditioned products consist of products that were originally sold new, or sent out as demo units, these products were then returned, sometimes without even being opened. Once we receive a product back, it is tested and then reconditioned to original factory specifications by Manufacturer-trained technicians. The testing process assures that the product meets the same stringent quality standards that are required for new products.
Since these products may show signs of a previous installation, minor wear or other cosmetic defect our policy is not to sell them as new. Rather than scrapping them, we are making them directly available to the public. Not only does this help us control the costs of our new products, it allows you to get a great deal on a like-new product!
Factory Reconditioned products have limited availability."

No doubt some are returns. Sometimes companies do this to reduce inventory without upseting their dealer network. I buy factory refurbished items from all sorts of suppliers and have never been let down. Most of the refurbished electronics I get appear brand spankin new.

Are these the old analog or the new digital boxes?
The analog were stone reliable whereas we've seen and had new digital 6AL's bad right out of the box.

The 6530 6AL-2 programmable box is what I was looking at and found this deal on.

Didn't realize there was a whole ebay store for them. I had just done a search for the 6530 box and it popped up...hadn't seen it before.

Glad we found it. Price on a ignition box looks about 50 less than summit pro shop. I don't like the 90 day warranty though.
