equipment identification question

[N8WOW]

Can anybody identify the equipment in this picture of a friend's grandfather's ham shack. It is fuzzy when I blow the picture up.

Thanks for any assistance you might have.

Looks like a Kenwood TS-520 with remote VFO, Antenna tuner and speakers.

Nice old rig.

Yep, that's what it is. Most of 'em are still running and they're available all over eBay, Craigs List and everywhere else, even today!

More specifically I am pretty sure it is either the TS-520S or SE.
The TS-520 series is a classic hybrid rig! I sure enjoyed my SE model.
I don't remember what the differences were between them.

Looks like he had the DG-5 Digital Display for it above it.

The difference was very easy. at a quick glance the 520, and 520s have a Grey colored heater switch the 520se did not. also the S and SE models dont have the same VFO dials either, but rather the S/SE has a dark area with the 3 LEDs, instead of the full lightup dial.

Still now WARC, but I love mine, and they are a good rig, now If I would just remember to check that an antenna is connected before I hit TX .

I'm not sure, but wasn't the TS-520SE missing the 3 connectors for the DG-5 display?

Thank you for the identification. My friend recently got her technician license and that is a picture of her granfathers shack.

Aside from radio equipment I recognize the Western Electric 500 series telephone. I have one in my shack that looks identical from 1974. It still works fine. AJ8L.
