As the title implies, I am currently looking to buy a NICE AND MINTY Kenwood TS 50S.
Anyone have one they're willing to part with?

FT891 better choice in this day and age...IMHO...never liked a radio without Squelch KNOB or requires menu to set SQ/ and or RF Gain
I have a Very Nice and Minty Yaesu FT-710AESS - different brand/model but thought I would mention it.
Thanks, but I am looking for this radio, specifically.
The 710 is very nice, but I'm looking for a mobile rig for the car.
$749 is a pretty hefty price tag, but I just may have to go that route, since the pickings are pretty slim on feebay.

You get what you pay for...Top Tech's selling that...prolly one of the last service centers that will work on them or guarantee they work!!...they purchased a load of pcs/parts for those years ago (I think)... look around... parts for those rigs are getting hard to find, again IMHO...Plus it does NOT have 6m 
...
GL Enjoy what you purchase
All the Best

Hmm...25 years old+ Technology...I mean for the right price and know it works...with a 30/30 warranty
I have seen used FT891's in the $375-$450 range of late.

Hmm. A 1990s car with original tires probably needs new ones. The electrolytics in a TS50 are like decades-old dry-rotted tires. They cause trouble until they're replaced.
Sometimes 'original' isn't a good thing.
