FT 847 Power switch


 

Hi folks, if any of you in the UK need a replacement power switch these are available from cpc.co uk with the order number of - SW04793, these should also be available from Farnell sites in other Countries.

HI
For the well-known problem of the ON/OFF button that came out immediately after a few years of use, I did the same thing with the Swiss Farnell about 15 years ago with my FT847, always perfectly functional.
Difficult to disassemble the radio front to find the old defekt switch, not so obvious but I did it.
Having put the two contacts together immediately, I have not had any problems since that day.
Now the writing on the front keyboard is a little faded, otherwise everything is OK!

Instead for the Kenwood MC85 mic, unfortunately I can't find the small PTT/LOCK switches even at Farnell ...

And, if anybody here in NZ needs this switch, please note that Element14/Farnell has them 'until current stock is exhausted'. Their order code is 1435767. At the moment they are on 'back order'.....presumably pending arrival from overseas. Price is NZ$3-odd each,
HTH? somebody!
Mike.
