Russ - Might suggest the Elecraft K2. http://www.elecraft.com In its
simplest form an outstanding CW rig. Although its kit, some used units
are starting to be found as over 5,000 have been sold.

Also take a look at the K1 and KX1.

My main rig is a Kenwood TS-850S. I am considering getting a back up
rig for it.

Main interest is cw. Internal Antenna Tuner is nice. Bands higher
than 10m not that important.

What models do you recommend that: represent good value, reliable, can
still be serviced (if used)?

Will appreciate opinions on this.

Thanks & 73,
