Wow that is so much more variety then what I've been seeing. One recent local hamfest had one TS-530. The only related accessory was another guy with MC-50 that had been wired for something else.
 
I couldn't pass on this 830. Last summer I bought an exceptional Icom IC-271A from a ham in Texas. This guy buys older radios in great condition and then updates them even further. Had the IC-271A been in the original factory packaging he could have passed if off as new old stock. The 271 was update with non volatile memory, pre-amp and LED lights.

Some time later had the 830s for sale in a set with the matching tuner, station monitor and speaker. I really wanted everything but it was a little too pricey. He rebuilt the VFO and it is smooth as any I've ever used. VFO stabilizer kit and new led lights. Cosmetically there isn't a mark on it. I think overall the receiver is better than my FTDX-1200 even with all the DSP bells and whistles and easier to listen to.
