I picked this TS-700S 2m all mode rig from a friend. It was non-functional, but pretty clean externally.
Every one of these I've ever touched, had dirty / bad contacts in all the switches. I can't explain why, but they did. This one was no exception...and required servicing all toggle & rotary switches, as well as the pots on the front panel. This one was completely missing the main 6PDT relay, and had a bad 10.xxx mhz oscillator transistor on the FM board. Once repairs were made, and a full alignment performed, she ran like a new rig! Here's a few pics...
