Which FT-101 model do you prefer?

I cannot find Part 2 where you got the Tx going. I am sure that would have been equally interesting. I have repaired an FTDX 401 which is very similar except for the ALC circuitry. Cheers.

Long, detailed videos are the best

buddy, what height from floor is the standing workbench ?

AS SOON AS YOU UNSEAL THE BOX IT ISN'T MINT it's A GRADE 9 CCA.

8:19 that was most likely done in the factory to fine tune it.

That radio was manufactured in 1977 and UPD chassis was disallowed in 1978.

Nice to see you again after a long time. 73

I have a HP 8640B with no RF output. The Power meter light does not turn on. The unit turns on but no RF output and no counter output movement when the internal frequency dial is turned. The power supply LEDs are and no -5.2VDC. I removed the RF Divider Filter Assemble and the -5.2 VDC is correct. Can you please provide suggestions on what is drawing the voltage down to 0VDC? The rectifier boards and filter caps are good. Al

Hello, can you fix mine? Thank you.

Glad I came across your channel, been looking everywhere for internal instructions on this model. So if I want to increase my output power I just need to drive the black screw out? Thanks!

My only dig on the "S" line Collins is the 2.1 KHZ band width A little wider like the Kenwood 2.7 filtering would sound a lot better. BTW, I own a 2A and several Kenwoods.

Silver solder or just flux core lead?

Señores, por ser esos materiales de origen chino, es de temer que con el nuevo presidente, que..."dice" que va con todo y contra China, aumente impuestos a más no poder a esas herramientas y complementos. Saludos, gracias por subir, interesante, tengo un 7 x 10" Habour Freight.

I must admit i do use stuff like this for the 455 mixer and such, but never thought about it on an analyser for other stuff.. but would you have not been better off using better coax as well ??

Good lord ! That blank square in the middle of the screen during the intro made me panic thinking summin's wrong with my Monitor ! 🥵🥵

what is that boxed numbered 62 under side where the scope board is ??

Congratulations on your retirement and on the new set of wheels Buddy. Retirement's the best time in life and an active guy like you will have no problem keeping busy with all the extra hours you'll now have. Sorry you and the XYL were ill and hope you're both on the mend. 73's, tnx for the videos past and present and God bless.

i have a 990 and everything seems to be working but no sound from the speaker or headphone jack or external speaker jack i can see meter deflecting when i tune the vfo across the band all buttons work it puts out full power just no sound,, Any Ideas??

Glad ya'll made it through that storm okay.... My buddy in Ayden said they didn't get much out of it , like western NC did.....

I know it's not your thing but I sure wish you would do more cb repair videos. 🙂

great video

Thanks for the video buddy! From Chris G0VOE.

Hello I fixed a FT-101 about 5-6 years ago. This was for a friend who lived in Door County, WI. Radio looked like it had one cup of bacon grease poured all over it. After cleanup and alignment, it has been back on the air since 2018

Did you end up using these on a repeater system? Very curious how it turned out.

Up on your feet GOOD. Nice video!

Glad you're back in the video business Buddy...look forward to the next ones! 73 - Dino KLØS

Glad to see you back Buddy!

Always good to see a video posted from you, Buddy! Will you post anything from the SWAN 700?

I love the FT-101 series and I have the same here. Always a pleasurer watching your videos Buddy. Thanks for sharing.

It was probably arcing inside the bias resistor, hence the power meter jumping 😮. Nice repair and easy to access that resistor 😀. When the LED is off, the trace is a bit longer. When the LED is on, the trace is a dot 😂.

Even today it’s an impressive station

Thank you big brother for stopping by..... you are a special person... thanks

Welcome back Buddy, it is good to see you doing well after the storms. Is your FT-101-EE and accessories going to be for sale or trade after the repairs are all finished? I know someone who would be extremely interested (grin). 73 de K7RMJ Frank

Good to see you back and glad you made it through the storm. Hope you get everything repaired ok and maybe even get to shoot some video of the work

Is the Yaesu ft101 E and ES the same internally?

What are the 2 source coils? Fuse resistor or inductor?

Just Picked up one of these...Really need part 2!

I've bought bought a slightly faulty 1200S to go with my 1200SRA.. yes i have an SRA with very very little or no information on the interwebs. the 1200S i just swapped for a Motorola 3001C it will be repaired and work along side my Marconi 2955 and Wavetek 3001B..

That is because it was dirty

Gorgeous radio. Back in the day, I had an SB-33, then an SB-34. These days, there's 3 SB-34's in the garage - one totally working, one being repaired and a third that is sadly just for parts - its geneva dial mechanism has a missing tooth.

Neat

i have a nos one in the box smells new thinking of putting a ddsvfo from troy radio in it one day.

Hello, great video, I am looking for somebody to help me to fix mine?? I am from Mauritius? can you help please. My mail address is [email protected]

very innteresting video , i have a TS 50 with no power output and RX very low , i tried to test according service manual, where i can find HF connector / Cable of TS 50 (CN19 DRV)?

Thabk you for your comprehensive video. Specially for the spectrum analyzer. It seems that although the signal looks weird in time domain, it has a rather smooth frequency domain representation.

Turn signal generator to regenerative receiver. :)

Stumbled upon your Video this morning while viewing other Ham sites, trying to narrow down what USED HF transceiver to look out for. Your very inspirational with the competency you have repairing and aligning various radios. I admire also your cool patience while diagnosing, after seeing you trouble-shoot on some of your other videos. W1mcs

nesecito el cable de poder

Hey, just wanted to say I hope y'all are all okay out there. I'm not rightly sure where "there" is, but I hope it isn't too bad.
