Yaesu FT101 series and accessories galore!!!!!

As some of you have heard, I am near the end of what some have called collecting insanity. I will never stop per say but it is time to clear out the multitudes of doubles and I think my hoarding may benefit a few collectors in months to come. In this video, we have I believe about half of the FT101 series radios and bits that I have so much fun collecting. Im likely to keep one of each model as I always proclaim, but the rest, time to make other collectors smile. This is is not a for sale video, I have not had time to work out exactly what we are keeping, but it's pretty obvious that a slight clean out and we are cooking with gas with a few good examples of the FT101 series kept to pass onto my son Riley when I pass away, but not to soon of course...I have enjoyed collecting these bits, its just fun getting a radio accessorised and line ups always look great, but take up serious room of course. I hope you enjoy having a look down memory lane, I thought this was a good way to keep you updated with our progress. There is obviously quite a few more videos of loads of stock of line ups here that will have to go so we can start actually making room for so much that obviously stays. We have particular collectors from Melbourne and Sydney who have been emptying my American Barn and you guys are just an enormous help. One collector yesterday cleared out over 300 radios and accessories, on a 40 degree day, the heat was killing us but it got done, (more cb than ham in that load), this was an effort and a half. We actually can see some shelf space again, so its getting there.
Happy new year to everybody who is kind enough to watch these videos, cheers brenton vk3cm jdw229 pls subscribe and also feel free to join us on Facebook at Aussie Radio Pickers or vk ham sales and service anytime....

This is VA4YYZ 16 years old and the 101e is my first hf radio talk to Sylvania from Winnipeg

I still to this day love the Yaesu FT-101 series radios. I guess you never forget your first love ;). I had the FT-101EX.

[@MakeDoAndMend1]

Wow really jealous. I love my FT101 etc. They are getting rare in the UK. I have been looking for the desk Mike and loudspeaker that match and any other add on units but no joy. So thanks for your video etc. Cheers from old George "Mick" G1BKI

[@andydainty6055]

Great to see a full classic line up, in the early stages of building the FT902DM, with all matching units. Great looking radios.

[@MikePeace]

A Ham can never have too many FT-101 series radios!

[@petenikolic5244]

I would love to have a 101 but that is going to have to wait never had one but have used lots of them great radios

[@donaldmason4959]

Would you recommend a FT-101 DM for a first time HF operator? Great vids.

[@brentonmeadowsvk3cm]

maybe for a first radio, something a bit more stable may be desirable, but you can get a huge amount of joy out of the very famous FT101 series of radios. I always think the Icom IC7300 for $1600 aud is a perfect first time radio, just feature packed and not expensive. cheers Brenton VK3CM

[@Jaybepr787]

Hi 73’s my friend. I have an FT-101E that is my baby. I also have a YC-601 without the cable to connect and with the very common LCD Tube ic failure on 2 out of 3 ic’s. I was wondering if you can sell me a working 601 with cable. Thanks.

[@brentonmeadowsvk3cm]

unfortunately we have 5 of the yc601 but all with radio line ups. if we get a spare, we will drop you a note for sure. cheers Brenton VK3CM

[@malcolmlewis3239]

I think you will find some Ft101’s came from factory with the Crystals for CB.

[@brentonmeadowsvk3cm]

seen a lot with 11m on the band switch, but do you know if they ever factory fitted aux position with 27mhz? Very interesting history for sure..

[@jasonnicholson8854]

do you have a transformer for the 101b thankyou jason

[@gilbertstevenson8749]

Do you have a YC 601 for sale and a desk mic

[@kayakbassfishing473]

I need a freq counter you have one for sale?

[@pd1jdw630]

I would love to have one. But probably couldn’t afford it.

[@daytonasixty-eight1354]

Cheaper than new radios?

[@pd1jdw630]

Daytona Sixty-Eight mostly the shipping since the sporadic sell of one here is once in a solar cycle. It seems that way . Shipping one to Europe . Uhm yeah.

[@daytonasixty-eight1354]

@@pd1jdw630 Makes sense. Everything in Europe is expensive.

[@harbselectronicslab3551]
