Parts or restoration
This Kenwood TS-520S is from an Estate that had a lot of Kenwoods.
Quick test on 40 Meters. I could receive stations momentarily, but the VFO was so unstable that it was nearly impossible to stay on one signal. RIT seemed functional but did not help the VFO problem. Meter not working properly. No HV shown on the meter. Tubes light. No RF output.
You will need to install a VFO plug or jumper pins 8 and 9 on the rear panel.... VFO plug not included.
Sold as is. Just the transceiver. No mic or manual. No cables or power cord. No 9 pin external VFO plug.
It's a heavy HF rig. Check your shipping costs.
