Yaesu FT 101 powerup test and service
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- I give the 101 a quick test and service, I do a low voltage DC power-up, clean all potentiometers and switches, give it a clean and test reception. Sorry for the shaky camera work for the first 2:05, feel free to skip it. (Must try harder Ralph)
** Please do not work on mains voltage appliances unless you are trained, you can get a lethal schock even after it is unplugged. The Yaesu has voltages up to 600 Volts DC internally. Please consult qualified personel. **
A big thank you to Rays-Tek on Ebay www.ebay.co.uk... and Aleks1620 also on Ebay www.ebay.co.uk... who furnished me with the Cinch-Jones connectors.

Great video and I love the old FT-101's I have a couple of them here and restored them to good condition. Easy to work on and many parts radios available. Working on a FT-102 now that needs a lot of relay work. Thanks for the info
You are very welcome!
It was an FT-101 (no E, EE, or EX). The original, I believe one of the earlier model 101, judging by the serial #.
I just scored a NOS, brand new in the box, example of this rig today! It was posted on Craigslist. Paid $500 plus shipping. Couldn't resist!
Amazing find! You should make a video about it
@@tekmakerUK yes I’m going to do an unboxing video when it arrives
I love those FT series Yaesu's, a very "Mechanical" rig to say the least, very versitile as well. I'am seriously considering picking up another 101, I've had several in the past, kinda having Yaesu withdrawls!🤣👍
Good call!
Shame this had no comments. RUclips is now recommending this video all of a sudden in 2022 to those that have seen other FT101 videos. Hope you read your comments and you are still around
Thanks for the comment, I am slowly getting my content noticed due to making regular videos and participating in Facebook groups. Yes I am still around but haven't done much on the FT101s yet, but watch this space!
@@tekmakerUK Great to hear!
I keep trying to watch this video and always get an error message. The same thing occurs with FT-7 videos. Is there a conspiracy against old Yaesu rigs? I'm currently eagerly awaiting the arrival of an FT-101B I recently bought, from Ebay.
Still works for me
@@tekmakerUK I just came here, when I received the e-mail saying there was a reply to my post. And sure enough, it says:
""An error has occurred. Please try again later.

i have a yaesu ft101b left it under my bed for 4 months switched the radio on and smoky after 4 minuits do i need another transformer blow a capasiter 470uf 25 volts or just replace the capasiter the radio still switches on and is ok thankyou jason
Great stuff!
Jason, my 101 also blows up the same capacitor. In your case: was needed to replace your transformer or only capacitor? How you confirm if transformer is ok. Thanks
@@claudiobio sorry, I sold mine as it was
@@tekmakerUK Thanks
Thanks Jason. Enjoy your FT-101
