Fede
I happen to own a TRD 950 and have been watching ebay for a backup used one. The very nice looking guaranteed ones bring $450 to $500 and others "working when removed" $300-$400 and then the unknown conditions $100- $150. Lots depend on appearance and condition of the faceplate including the somewhat common cracks around the faceplate mounting screws.
Incidently I just bought a KX145 system with indicator and tray for $150 "working when removed" and got lucky. It looks a little better than the one in the plane and I tried it the other day and it is clearer and with more range than the one I had so I'm leaving it in and using the old one as a spare. Two years ago I lost the KX125 N/C the day before we left from WA State to go to AZ for the winter (1200 statute miles) and had to go with the #2 KX145 the whole way.
Good luck.

I read somewhere that UPSAT bought out the Collins line and are discontinuing parts and support for the majority of the Collins product line. I would ask around to make sure you don't end up with an unrepairable unit. I think it may have been either on AVWEB or on UPSAT's website, not sure though.
