Kenwood TS-520S – Asking Price $350

From the estate of Peter Kertulla KA1IFG, we have a working Kenwood TS-520S.  This radio from the 1980s features two 6146 tubes in the final amplifier and puts out 100 watts.  Radio appears to be fully operational as tested on the 20 meter band (see video below).  Radio has some cosmetic blemishes, including a dent on the top cabinet, some wear on the leather handle and some scuffs.  The power cord should be replaced, which is an easy DIY job.  Relive the past with a great sounding radio!
