This rig has a pair of original 6146B finals that generate 85 watts out (a bit lower than the typical expected output) to a 50-ohm dummy load. This is pretty common on this rig and the relays in it. Audio on receive is good too. It DOES have the optional CW filter (see photo). I tested it on all bands both in receive and tune. The pilot lamps over the s-meter and dial are new and bright. The digital readout is bright and clear. Cosmetically, the cabint shows typical minor scratches; the entire cabinet has been repainted and is a close match to the original Kenwood gray. The carrying handle is original and sturdy. There is no microphone nor manual included. Manuals can be downloaded from several sources for free, on-line.
