I have finally gor around to playing with the radio a little more, and as expected I have a number of bedges to sort out along the way and a few things that people here may be able to point me in the right direction with...
Please Ignore the 'Green' stuff around the terminals, I will sort this out later, but is this the actual way that Yaesu did this? I would have though a neater solution may have been in the radio, but if this is correct I will try and purchase a neater option when I get around to this.
Certainly looks as though this has been bodged, not investigated much but anyone have any ideas as to why this would have been cut and as to the mess going to the earthing point? I will clean this up later but it does not feel like a Yaesu fitting.
Using a bulb as a resistance...? emmm, again does not have the feel of Yaesu....
The fitment of this capacitor just looks wrong as well...
Not too sure if all of these are bodges, not played around with this era of Yaesu kit before, I know 101's of old and FT-950's and FT-2000 and non of these would be seen in those items, but I do know that things were not as sweet back then, so if anyone can give me any pointers I would be much appreciated.
Items that I really could do with getting hold of if anyone is selling:
- A Complete set of Original Case Screws.
- Carrying Handle (Complete) with all fittings.
- Original ATT Knob.
- Top and Bottom Cases (Clean and Tidy Ones).
I will create a Gallery and upload a load of photos, maybe someone will see other things that I have missed.
