In November 2021 I bought a Kenwood TS-50S through eBay (shipped from Japan). The rig was untouched inside and came with all original accessories. I replaced the battery and added a SO-2 compatible TCXO from N3BA. Since the TX frequencies when this rig was made did not account for our frequencies today, I removed the diode that limits the TX frequencies to be able to use it on the frequencies I can operate on. I call it the little cousin of my Kenwood TS-850S.
