I have a TS-820s that needs a little TLC and no time to give it any.  It
works in every respect except for the "carbonized" bandswitch wafer in the
PA.  A bad antenna caused the switch to arc, and it went downhill from
there.  I have the replacement switch but no time to install it.  It still
transmits but around 10-15 watts it arcs on the carbon trail, so replacement
of the wafer is mandatory.  It doesn't look like too bad of a task, and can
be accomplished through the opening for the cooling fan on the final
compartment.  Since I travel a LOT I just haven't been able to even start
this project.  For that matter I seldom have time to operate either- I need
to work on that!

I will sell the radio, with it's Shure 444, and the replacement switch for
$250.

It is in very nice condition with very light wear around the most used
controls, but nothing obvious.  Pictures via email on request.
