I have one too. Took a while to find one, and recently I have send two boards to two fellows here which have located the new collins filters from AOR. It's all set to keep it going strong for a while.

I will never part ways with my 817. I have a cw filter I got way back when there was a guy
selling them in Alabama.

Now that inrad seems to be out of stock of pcbs things are slightly more

On the other hand, AOR still has stock of 500hz CW mechanical filters, it's the
same collings, just that it doesn't have the yaesu sticker on top. Call your
local AOR distributor and ask for them, you might have a pleasant surprise if
you're looking for one.

But I agree it's time to move on a bit for Yaesu. [...]
Come on Yaesu, two small tweaks, CW filters and a bit ore space for homebrew
battery packs
and you can be king of the castle ;-)
