Absolutely beautiful rig. I have to find one of these to put next to my TS-660 quad bander. Keep the qsos rolling and thankyou for posting. Tom Kc9qvv

@BlueTomTom62 You are welcome Tom, the TS-700 looks so much better than is does on video, I would never sell this rig. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

Great reliable rigs with great audio, and what a design, wow!

Have already collected a Kenwood TS-700, TS-700G and recently a TS-600 (my fav).

Now hunting for a decent TS-700S!

Joined the "KenwoodTS600NTS700" Yahoo-group too.

Visit the GH4IZH website regarding the Trio/Kenwood TS-700 conversion to 4 metres too.

Is it me or does this chap sound like John McCririck??!!

Beauiful rig, it looks like a real communication radio, not like todays radios that looks like expensive hi-fi stereos.

When I was at school, I used to dream about owning that rig one day! It's a beauty. Nice to see a classic trx looking and sounding so good.

Hi ; I also have one of those but mine is the TS-700SP and I have no idea what the SP stands for . Last time I used it , it worked ok. The mic needs work . Thats another story. Take care and God Bless.

Have you got blown lamps on your 'Band' and 'VFO' knobs? Anyway, top radio and I'm thrilled to bits with my one as well, apart from a couple of blown lamps....... Cheers!

I bought one of these a few days ago on a pure whim. It had no power leads or microphone, but I managed to cobble together a lead using spade connectors from a 13.8v supply. It sounds great on receive, but until I get of a spare mic and rewire it, I will not be able to transmit. Hopefully there will be no problems. All I have to do is replace a couple of lamps. (main dial and VFO)
