Dave — I’m also refurbishing an old FT-101B which I actually bought back in the 70s and used then. ?One thing I need to know is regarding the BM adjustment pot (next to the ALC). ?I think it may have been changed inadvertently and I can’t find anything in the user or service manuals that says anything about this adjustment. ?Do you have any information about this?
I have checked the rig out and it does receive and transmit and the pots and switches are noisy. ?I haven’t replaced any capacitors. ?Others have said replace all the electrolytics. ?I appreciate your providing advice for specific capacitors and sources.
I had an old tube bass amplifier and had the?worst time getting capacitors with high enough voltage ratings. ?I actually blew some up with lower voltage ratings. ?Fortunately Fender had placed them in a metal box so they didn’t blow up all over the rig. ?It did make for a novel performance experience.
Thanks,
