This is a Kenwood TR-7950 2 meter rig I got in a batch of stuff. It was pretty dirty, but powered up. I gave it a bit of cleaning, serviced the controls and switches, replaced a few lamps, and aligned it. The reciever and transmitter stages came right up to spec and the radio worked great. The LCD display has moisture ingression around the edges, and needs a header cable (ribbon cable), but the rig was otherwise fine. I fabricated a power cord, wired a mic to it, and had a usable 2m rig :-) . Here's a few pics and video...
I've been in Amateur Radio since 1974, and still find new and interesting things to do. I like to build, restore, and operate on the air.
