Does anyone have the Yaesu and/or manufacturer’s part number for VR6501? ?This is the dual 10k pot used to control AF and RF. My shaft got bent due to the sellers horrible packing. I scoured all the different forms of the service manual and I could not find a comprehensive parts list like what is found on newer rigs. ?I saw the earlier post about Yaesu-UK, but due to shipping delays from UK, I want to try to get the part in the US.?

I would like to thank Nils Ostman for posting the info on the AF/RF pot on Ebay.
I was able to order one and have just finished replacing the bent one for the new one.?
I was also able to dedust the front of the radio, actually the whole radio.
The pot works perfectly.
Now, can anyone help me with FC-20 problem I have. When connected and then powering up the radio it either shuts off immediately or just doesn't come on.
Please
Again thank you for the pot info.

Is the radio or the FC-20 shutting down? Is the cable ok? The pins are really thin and is easy to bend.
Give me more info and I will look into the problem

The pins are fine and I also did a continuity test, 100%.

The radio flickers when turning it on with FC-20 connected. Sometimes the radio doesn't even come on.

Once you disconnect the FC-20, everything is fine.

I looked at the schematic for both,and the radio pin 6 is tuner sense and on the tuner it's ground with pin 3.

Thank you
