Yaesu FT-857D repair | Part 2

[@Subgunman]

How I repair these screw posts is by cleaning the plastic and then lightly sanding as much of the remaining post as possible. I then fit a plastic drinking straw over the post and then injecting a plastic epoxy with the self mixing tip so the correct portions of resin and hardener mix completely in the special tip. I inject the epoxy into the straw forcing the adhesive down and around the post. This glue hardens quickly and the tip can be cleaned out with acetone. When hardened I use a fine drill bit to open a new hole and use the original screw. If you made it the post too high you can carefully sand down the post with a fine sanding disk on a Dremel hobby tool.

Thank you for showing how to properly put the coil spring on the knob. That helped me to ensure I'm putting mine together right!

Obrigado por ter visto Victor. Tenho que agradecer a si e outros ótimos canais através dos quais eu aprendi muitas coisas. Agora estou à espera dos transistores finais da outra, infelizmente são os três para trocar. Vamos ver se me entregam transistores bons. Um abraço Diego
