I wanted one of these really badly when they first came out but could not afford it. I eventually acquired an FT-980 which is quite similar. My brother has it now and it's still going strong.
I don't own one of these, but from what I understand there is a backup switch on the back of the radio marked "BU" if not switched ON, you get the initial 0.000.0 frequency display.
All I can here are the the LED street lights..nice rig.

A very nice example Kevin, I love those proper analogue meters.
Me too!

I think you are correct but the backup batterry is long dead in this one!
@@KevinOReillyswl Does it have a backup battery? Does it keen memories when powered from mains?
Nice. Each of these old rigs have their own je ne sais quoi.
