Bruce: I will assume the 6146B are not equivalent to the 6156? Also, please note that I have one of the late models of ft-102 just before the FT-101B came into production as I currently understand it

Best to use two 6146B tubes in the FT-101Z series.

Thanks Bruce. I will continue to see if any of the collectors I know might have one in a junk box somewhere. I have landed my hands on a new set of 6164 tubes which are believed to probably fit the

Thank you Peter. So are you confirming that mine is simply the FT-101 which was from the original first group of ft-101 radios before the B came out as was stated before? Thank you for the input. I

Hi John, As Amanda says, the 8 is an oddity, but the date code is the pair of characters with a single digit followed by a letter, in your case 3C. The Z and ZD were completely different radios to

Amanda, you are correct, I am now part of this happy group and happy to be here and learn. Btw: Peter said mine is an FT-101 but just before the ft-101B came out. I am assuming to say it is an

John, Your radio was made in 1973. There were no FT-101 radios (with no suffix) made in 1983. The last 5 digits of the number on the back plate are the actual serial number, so 33037 in your case. It
