I have some of the new transistors ( BTW Infinite VSWR protected), the RD07MVS1, and am in the process of getting ready to replace the old one's on a failed board (CB1333001 FINAL UNIT 43.88 EACH) that I have.

Replacing FT817 finals is pretty easy - screwdriver, soldering-iron,
multimeter. In the FILES section, have a look in the "Technicalities
and Repairs" and "Repairs" folders for detailed instructions.
You only need to buy the Final Unit.
People have replaced just the Final FETs, but it is much more
difficult and not much cheaper. The only alignment required in either
case, is to set the Idle Current.

Well, for as much as I spent on the 817, I got only ONE CW QSO out
of
it! I'm mad as a hornet. And, no, I've made NO mods or otherwise
abused the rig. So, I e-mailed Yaesu asking for a quote on repairs.
Here's what they're sticking:
P/N CB1152001 PA UNIT $266.97 EACH, IN-STOCK
P/N CB1333001 FINAL UNIT 43.88 EACH, IN STOCK
And, this isn't including the labor!
Does anyone know of any reputable place that can do the job?

P.S., I may have a great little portable MF-UHF Yaesu receiver for
sale here soon!
