I have one. It is missing the outer case, but has NOT been hacked. There is a non-original 
power supply with it. It is horribly dirty but is in the queue to be refurbished.

The TCM-2 is one of my favorite rigs. It has more knobs, dials, and meters per square inch 
of panel space than practically any transmitter I know of.

However, you are in New Jersey, and I'm in Moscow, Idaho, so shipping it, even if you 
wanted it, would be a problem.

BTW, there is a significant error in the schematic in the manual for the TCM-2. I found and 
corrected it.

To see that. The photo of the TCM-2 (minus original power supply) shown there is NOT 
mine.

I'll bet there are others here who may know of one for sale somewhere. Keep asking. They 
are a really neat transmitter and acutally quite "small" for the time period. They are actually 
a bit smaller than a Globe King 500, and will sit on a desk.

You can see at least one in action on youtube in two parts by Dennis W7QHO.
