Description

Working Kenwood TS-530SP Transceiver. very well cared for, shows nice with usual scratches and wear from age. Theres two scratches retouched on top of cabinet- please see pictures. Most important this radio has been tested and work great both receive and transmit.
Radio still has factory tubes and produces anywhere from 95 to 110 watts on all bands which is very healthy, the lowest been on 10 meters but close to factory specs . (please see pictures)
Has all fixes done including:
Cathode resistor’s replaced, final cage repair kit installed, bronce band-switch bushing installed,new relay installed from k4eaa new high voltage nichicon capacitors, new screen and driver caps, band-switch dissembled and tested, cleaned.antenna relay cleaned.
The TS530SP is a step over the basic 530, and it is not as complicated as the 830. Radio comes power cord , nothing more. meter is for reference and is not included on sale. Also have the matching external digital vfo posted on ebay.
Kenwood hybrids are very robust, make a great first or main ham rig, and are easy to maintain and repair . Unlike other hybrid designs, kenwood used 6146b transmitting tubes which are more durable , readily available and affordable. however if not properly operated you can burn out the cathode resistors so please do your research first , look at the manuals online see if this is what you want but if unsure don’t buy and ask any questions before you buy. Im a honest seller and describe the best i can, these are used vintage radios so expect imperfections and some age related wear.Look at pictures as they are part of the description. Don’t mind answering questions or taking more pictures so you make an informed buying decision- just ask.
