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,

Others have mentioned Ten Tec. If you go to their web site, you can
request their used/demo list of older Ten Tecs they have taken on
trade. They can be returned within 30 days if not satisfied. And Ten
Tec still services anything they made.
