Used Bird 43 meters are shipped  in either a original bird box or a, form fitting, cushion made with instapak quick foam in bags ‡ (in the US).   I use a dummy meter to form the foam so YOUR meter never sees the pressure or heat. Also included with every 43 are a dummy slug to protect the pointer (an active element is required for operation). A  copy of the manual will be provided on request.  The manual can be viewed and printed here http://www.bird-electronic.com/products/pdfs/opmanual/43.pdf  .  New meters are shipped in the bird box unless noted.  ‡ All meters ordered with a case are shipped it the case. I pack very well please check my ebay feedback ID = ka3art5.

I will swap QC connectors to what you need.  You must ask prior to shipping.

ALL

ALL Meters are TESTED at 25Watts on 2 meters (144MHz) with my TS-2000X and a 25C element or equivalent . 

Here is a photo of my test rack    Click it for a big view.

They are accurate as checked against my Bench 4410.
