Purchased non-working Kenwood TS-50S through eBay. It turned on but immediately started very loud oscillating noise. I initially replaced two SMD capacitors with obvious leak. It worked with small AF output but oscillating again as turned AF clockwise. I decided to replace rest.
"I'm more confident than ever that the friendship between the United States and Japan is strong... it's thriving, it's prosperous, and it will soon be, I think, greater than ever before." - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸🇯🇵
I was very pleased to receive such warm words of congratulations from @realDonaldTrump.
Truly hoping to work together with President Trump to make our 🇯🇵🇺🇸 Alliance even stronger & more prosperous, and to advance a Free and Open Indo-Pacific.
トランプ大統領から、温かいお祝いのお言葉を頂き、大変嬉しく思います。 日米同盟をより一層強く、より豊かにするために、そして、自由で開かれたインド太平洋(FOIP)を進めるために、トランプ大統領と共に取り組んでいくことを楽しみにしております。
Newly arrived Kenwood TS-180S probably manufactured in 1979.
Fully functional. As I did not observe CW filter effect at all, I thought it was not installed. While I was adjusting the rig, I found optional CW filter and 2nd SSB filter. Somehow CW filter was not wired and fixed.
