Re: ft101 Problem

Did you also check the antenna overload fuse?

ft101 Problem

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.

The following files have been uploaded to the Files area of the [email protected] group.

By: Alistair GM4ENF <alistairfyffe@...>

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.

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.

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

The group must think the files when you attached it as that image above is only 83kb in size and 488 x 347 pixels.

The attachment above is of a really low resolution and size, so not sure if you have uploaded it somewhere else, I am after at least 600+ dpi or a file size per page of around 4-12Mb.

I am bidding a few from The USA on FleaBay, will cost a small fortune to get them sent here but at least I will be able to scan these.

The scan I have taken from the cover of the FT101ZD brochure is very large so hope it will load up here.? After approaching 41 years I have just realised the brochure I was given is for a version without WARC bands - despite my Set being WARC fitted.? If this is any good to you I will scan the rest of the brochure - but probably as smaller files.? Let me know.

I’m not sure how to scan it. Rather large. But I suppose can scan it in 8 1/2 x 11 segments.?
