Hi Peter and many thanks for the additional advice. Actually I have decided to have a break from that radio - if anything there are other things not working - when I try to adjust the standing current

Hi Dan, Very good on the test bench set up. The dim bulb test should work fine. I don't have much in the way of test equipment ... a B&K isolation transformer, a digital 200MHz disk channel scope

Hi Ron, Yes, I have a variac.? My plan is to use a Tripp-lite isolation transformer I modified to be truly isolated.? Plug the variac into it and from the variac connect to the dim bulb tester with

Hi Dan, Do you have a variac? That would work. I used a multitap (90v-120v in 5v increments) isolation transformer when I brought mine back to life. Then it managed to blow both Q1 and Q2 on the

Hi Ron, Glad to hear the conversion worked out for you.? I had read some articles about the conversion but wasn't sure where that would lead me if I needed to do it.? I'm assuming these tubes are

Hi Dan, I was a little concerned about that as well. I actually triple checked everything I did before applying power. I used the cold neutralization process from the conversion article and added the

Hi Ron, I have the FT-101E that has been in its original box throughout the years since high school.? It had the 6JS6C tubes replaced once.? Not sure how long tubes last sitting around.??Prices

Hi Peter, Okay, so no SSB out even though you have AM & Tune/CW. It still could be a fault with the ALC or dirty relay. You could certainly check the voltages around D2 in the ALC circuit. If C17 has

Hi Peter and many thanks for your comprehensive reply! I will certainly try your suggestions for the metering fault. However I can get no power out at all using a dummy load (on a separate power/swr

Hi Peter, The D2 referred to is the D2 in the ALC circuitry which is located on tag strips in the chassis just outside the PA/Driver compartment - I think this is what you referred to as the D2 in

Hello. my first post for a long while so hoping somerone can help me. I have powered up this rig after many years in (dry!) storage. I was vey encouraged when in the "Tune" mode I obtained 120W out

Hey that worked perfect! Thanks for the tip! I figured there had to be a simple solution out there but couldn't find anything in the manual or online! Guess it was so simple that I should have just

Hi Michael, Not to worry, the metal ring on the vfo knob behind the plastic portion rotates with the analog dial. Hold the metal ring firmly and turn the plastic knob so the analog is correct. It

Hello all. I am BRAND new to the FT101 so be patient with me. I'm new to radios of this vintage in general and just got this radio yesterday and haven't had time to play much with it but I'm pretty

Thanks for sharing the link Emerson.? An excellent article on not only what NOT to do by why not...? ?I am always on the lookout for another FT101Z but will now be wary of the 'not working'

Emerson, thanks for that. That cements my decision to return my 101E to original. At least I can backtrack what I did and it should work ... I've already bought the replacement 6JS6C sockets. Now I

http://lists.contesting.com/_yaesu/2003-06/msg00028.html A good advice.

Interesting. My 101Z suddenly became 'deaf' some time ago.? After a lot of investigion work I came to the conclusion that? the first RF Amp device had likely failed.? I am a little reluctant to

My 101zd was about 10db down on rx. I went down the troubleshooting road and cleaned all the relays I could find and checked the lamp fuse. Wound up changing the first rf amp and it came back to

Are there any members who have made the conversion from 6JS6C finals to 6883Bs according to the K3JLS.net documents?? If so, do you have any recommendations? I've done the conversion but have yet to
