Re: ft101 Problem

Can you give me a better location description.? I have found the VFO circuit board (1056) inside the box that holds the main VFO adjustment capacitor but see no removable FETs anywhere in the area.? There are two soldered? active devices on the board but they look like transistors.

If you smelled something, I would pull out the regulator board that is along side the RF power tube cage and inspect it for damage.?

The other one to look at would be the board underneath that has high voltage parts, diodes and bias supply parts.?

Yes. The older 101 radios used a lamp as a fuse from the antenna jack to the receiver stages.?

You still could just have a blown dual gate FET on the smaller board near the VFO.?

That FET is mounted in a socket for a simple replacement as they can fail easily.?

If it is bad, use a dual gate FET that has the built in diode protection.?

No.? Is that the lamp next to the antenna connection? Does the lamp function as a fuse?? The lamp is not blown.

Or...can you tell me where it is?

Thanks,

Did you also check the antenna overload fuse?

ft101 Problem

#120

I have an FT-101 that I used back in the 70s.? I was trying it out today with a long wire antenna.? I fired it up, tuned it in, everything went fine.? Then I moved it from one surface to another while it was on.? Bad Idea I guess.? It went dead as I was moving it.? There was a slight smell of burned electronics just for a second.? The smell didn't persist.

I checked and the power input fuse was blown.??I pulled off the case and examined it as carefully as I could.? Looked all through the power supply.? No sign of any arc or burned component.? Same everywhere else I could see.? At this point no smell of burned electronics.

I got another fuse and decided to give it a try without the mic to make sure it didn't slip into transmit mode.

Lights and fan came on, but no reception.? Silence.? Nothing on the s-meter.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Roger – the page individual facings are 258mm x 182mm

?

Regret my skills are insufficient to do stuff like stitching together scans.? The page content made it difficult to get the final jpgs anything like the same size of file – again I have no clues about how this might be achieved.? In particular my scanner had great difficulty with the ‘rear’ page of the folded document <the almost all white ‘address’ page>.? To get it to scan I had to use a much lower dpi.

?

Hope you can make something of them and they are of use...

Think I will stick to Morse code!

Hi Alistair,
Thanks for all of the brochure scans and uploads. Just wondering what is the actual size of one of the 4 page photos? That would be a help in putting all the single pages together into a brochure.

Description:
Scans of three of four images from one side of FT101ZD/Z brochure <front cover already uploaded> Scans of second side to follow. These scans have not been cropped to match so anybody who wants to replicate the original will need to do some cropping and matching.

Re: FT-101ZD Brochure?

#116

Yes later today or maybe tomorrow as I will need to fit scan time with other work.? As I guess you will know the brochure is a fold-up of a large single sheet so you will have to stitch the various scans together to replicate the original.

Are that's much better, thanks for that, Is there any chance that you can upload the rest of the pages please?

Thanks Roger.? I will wait to see if MD0MDI can use the scan I uploaded before scanning the remainder of the brochure - unless of course anybody else is interested in seeing this now ancient document!

Allistair,
Yes the front page is there OK and it is still high res. I am not sure how many more 30 Mb pages you have. If it is 10 or less go ahead and upload them to the same folder.
I'll leave them there, as is, for a week or two and then combine them into a more reasonably sized pdf.

Think I have managed to upload 30M file of FT101ZD brochure front page.? Any feedback on (1) whether in fact I have done this (2) If I indeed have is the image still high resolution.? Thanks.

Hi Alistair,
If you have the file size down to 30 Mb just upload it to File folder 07 - FT-101ZD Files.

That size of file will be too big to attach to a post and it will be too big to attach to a direct email as well. If you can do a file share and send the link to the OP,?that would be a successfully way.?

I don't know much about the details behind scanning but I scanned the brochure page at 2400dpi with my Epson V750 scanner.? The original scan was over 1G which I reduced to around 30M before uploading it - Maybe the 'system' resizes images to prevent swamping (which would be understandable). I use the V750 to scan medium format transparencies, some for publication, and know that at 2400dpi the scanner is looking for detail not there on the originals!? If you are still interested maybe direct emailing might give you what you are looking for.? Alistair GM4ENF
