The radio will ship in the original inner and outer Kenwood packing boxes. It would cost me $13.65 to put this in its own box and ship it to you. I will throw in the Kenwood KPS-15 power supply for the cost of additional shipping, if there is any way to do so without running afoul of eBay's policies. (Ballast for your parts bin?) I'm also including an original manual in poor condition. One is correct, the other is a hamfest find with the wrong pin count. I'm starting this listing at 99 cents-I'd rather have you expect the worst and bid accordingly than be disappointed. The board doesn't seem to have failed yet-the receiver still receives. As far as I know, this radio still has the original, failure-prone caps on the carrier board. There's one small nick in the insulation that could use some tape. (The boy lost interest just about the time I got my General.) The receiver includes YK-88SN-1 and YG-455C-1 filters. We never got far enough to use the transmitter, so I can't report on that. The big shortwave stations all come in clearly. We dangled an MFJ dipole from a not-nearly-tall-enough tree in the backyard and easily picked up people a few states away. There aren't too many scratches in the case and I don't see any dents. There's some uneven fading on the top-looks like it had a label or something that protected a 1/2" x 5" section of the plastic. It doesn't smell of smoke, and it doesn't have the text rubbed off any of the controls. We had some fun, but we only used this long enough to decide that this isn't the hobby for us. I picked this up last year in the hopes of getting my son interested in radio.
