Most of my problems have been intermittent faults due to dirty connectors.
I had to change an LED display with gone out segments, they are available.
I somehow killed a PA transistor. The transistors used in the Yaesu FT1000 series transistors are a direct replacement
and available from Yaesu.
I now have an intermittent s-meter due to noisy preset pots which are available
from many suppliers.
Mine was bought in Britain probably 15 years ago so no idea of current value.
If you get one, make sure you get the service manual for it.

I really enjoy my old hollow-state Drake equipment, and a friend's
purchase of a TR-7 has me interested in perhaps owning one. Am a little
reluctant because while my 2B and 4-line equipment are readily repaired
should the need arise, imagine the TR-7/7A maybe contains lot of
components made from unobtainium. What are the experiences of owners on
this list regarding keeping a TR-7 operational.
And, what is appropriate price range for one in good operational condition?
