Pertronix

Has anyone had trouble with the Pertronix Ignitor 2 electronic ignition ?
I bought a negative ground LU-142A unit, on ebay, for my Lucas distributor using the correct Pertronix 3,0 coil. Apparently dead on arrival. Seller told me to contact Pertronix which I did. So I emailed my concern to a rep ( Ian ) with pictures and receipt. Reply was how do you know it's defective ? Told him that I hooked it up to a 12V source with a volt meter in series and tried to activate it with the ring magnet. No switching, stayed at 12V.
Pertronix may not be at fault could be that the seller sold me a defective unit
but just wondering if anyone else has had that same experience.
