awesome video

Thank you nice job . 73 28:41

Nice look little scope that would very handy especially when you have small area to work in

As always your videos are great. I could really use the pro scope. My old Tektronix 2213a has almost completely died. The trace function went out and I'm down to guessing at the calibration. Take care everyone and have a safe 4th of July.

I literally took mine apart as you did and followed your guidance step by step. This sort of video is very handy to use as a guide. I’d love to watch you recap the capacitors and see how you do it.

Hi Radio Shop guy. I hope you had the chance to fix this monster. Just some tips to you. This thing is from the 60's. Means all switching is mechanical, using relays etc. I would recommend to clean up carefully every single relay is on there. In the power supply there are some, in the RF lines and in the display unit are like 10 of them. Several years of inactivity and inadequate storage are causing corrosion in contacts. It's just the first thing I always do to vintage electronics.

question do you have to neaturize the tubs when they are replaced?

They're about 39 years old have one and still use it, great radio

I have 3 or 4. A early serial 101 no letter that is the best working one ive seen. Ive got a 101b but letters are flaking off. A 101e missing 10m xtals. A 101e with some weird demodulator mixer board. I have a original silver trim 101fv no B letter vfo. Probably pretty rare as ive never seen one ever before. Have the yo100 but cant figure out why theres voltage on the chasis. The yc601 in your video looks odd like a inbetween version...love these but i prefer the ft901dm or 101zd or ft102 for tube hybrids. This station looks super clean

Thanks for this informative video about the Sencore CB42 CB Analyzer. The concept at the time was to provide the servicing technician of a CB radio to hook up the essential cables to the product, and then conduct troubleshooting tests from the RF input to the power transmitter output to the antenna, with some twists of the appropriate dials. Such was called a "systems approach" for troubleshooting for finding the problem fast, rather than the parameter measurement techniques of Tektronix and Hewlett-Packard instruments of the time. I wrote the operations and some of the maintenance portions of the CB42 manual.

The carrier board

You did it again splurged i know the temptation as I am guilty just have to watch out for the wife she thinks i am obsessed. Great video

Excellent video, Thanks for your wealth of knowledge and experience on these older sets.

Damn, that gear is totally mint, credit to the owner

GREAT BUDDY, that was fun, Great looking rig. Dave W4GSM

Beautiful, Very envious, I collected a 101ZD Mark 3 in Mint Condition, Sadly no Scope which is on my Wish List. I do not normally post as you are obviously busy, but I do love your posts, Great Work Man. 73

Excellent device! Unfortunately, many people do not understand that any vintage device needs maintenance before turning it on and using it.

GREAT RADIO AND VIDEO THANKS FOR SHARING--@@!!!!

Love the 101EE that was my first radio I bought one that needs a lot of work eventually get it done but will be referring to your 101 videos to make sure I don't miss anything :)

The MDS M Pro works better than I expected for this price range, great review. Please add me to the give away list.

"Unless you're a technician, I don't suggest just plugging it in and turning it on." Amen.

Pretty radio! Great job, looking forward to the next video.

I have an ALC/IC/PO switch from a 101

I love old radios much better than the stuff nowadays

Yes I have the same set up here and worked on the FT-101E. Took me a while to get all the accessories but was worth it. Love the radio and should use it more than i do. To many transceivers and a little radio shack makes for not easy access to them. Thanks for sharing and will be following the next FT-101 videos.

Have you ever worked on a Yaesu FT-107M ? I heard they are a troublesome radio. Is the FT-107M poorly designed or were inferior parts used ? Thanks

That's a keeper for sure Buddy! I've always wondered about why Yaesu put that plastic cover over the front panel...seen so many of them that have looked terrible as it ages on rigs that were well used. What was the "brown wire" syndrome? Hadn't heard that one before. 73 - Dino KLØS

another great video, thank you good sir

I remember the first time I saw an FT-101 (around 1975). They are still cool radios. Nice clean example there!

Congratulations Buddy on such a beautiful addition. Very nice radio and great video.

Wow, what a great find. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the project

Maybe you can talk about "split" caps on your next vid. I haven't seen much discussion on those. My Tempo 1 has a bunch (I think 0.01uF 50v striped film style) , but I can't tell if they are a problem as the Radio works fine. 👍

Good day sir, thanks for this video. I am just starting to get involved in doing electronic radio repair and has already learned a lot from you only on this video. I am making notes as far as I watch and listen to videos and this one is extremely informative and easy to follow. Thanks again from Nick in South Africa.

I'm thankful you were àble to get this equipment. I'm sure you appreciate the treasure it is to have one in such immaculate condition!

Thanks Buddy, great upload.👍

Could I just say these videos are gold kind sir! They will ensure these rigs stay alive so thanks MIGHTILY 73 de VK2AOE....I aspire to own an FT101 ...one day??

That was a Ham who took care of his equipment. 😊 The symptoms you gave: warm transformer and noise in RX did point to a power supply rail issue. Another way to confirm would have been connecting to an external DC supply, watching the current draw and see if noise disappeared. Yes, I would replace all the electrolyte capacitors. Looking forward to the next episode. Have a great week Buddy.

What an incredibly clean and nice station.

How the heck could that guy run that thing for a quarter century and have it be that clean ?? If I set that thing in my house and turned it on for an hour it wouldn't be that clean... lol

I’m taking this alllll in! Thank you !

Hi Buddy, Nice video. The previous owner knew how to take care of his equipment. Good to know that when I recap my FT-901DM, I do not need a retune. Stay safe. 73 WJ3U

wow, you will never find one that nice again.

I just need the phone patch to have the same setup but mine isn't nearly as nice looking. It was once owned by a CBer who smoked both cigarettes and cigars like a chimney. It took forever to get all of the sticky brown film off of everything but it all works well.

I learned so much !! Thank you! What kind of antenna are you using ?

Excellent video. I wish I still had my old 101-EE. Thanks for sharing it with us Buddy. 73 de K7RMJ Frank.

Wow, Buddy! What a station! And you got a good deal to boot. That's the prettiest Yaesu set up I've ever seen. I love my Yaesy 991a so much I spent another $100.00 and got rails to protect the front end. I can't believe you troubleshooting the radio and never even turn it on. Sounds great. Cheers & 73 from K9POW in eastern TN

Hey Buddy! Hope you're doing welll!

Nice to see a great little transceiver up and working again. Alway very nice to learn something from someone that knows exactly how to trouble shoot faulty circuts. Thank you for the very nice video

Again, thanks for sharing. Although you showed that the new RF PA board works in delivering 100 watts in FM mode, I’d be interested in its performance in a SSB mode. Specifically, I want to know how much out of band emissions it causes when tested with a two-tone test (for example, 900 Hz and 1300 Hz sine wave audio input, with output at 100 watts). Any non-linearity of the amplifier would show up in this test. Excessive emission would bleed into nearby frequencies and potentially cause interference.

I watch your video with a lot of interest. Thank you for doing it. I recently acquired a TS940SAT which has a broken RF Final unit; I’m trying to figure out how to go about fixing it. Since the new PA board is elevated by the new, additional copper heatsink, washers or stand-offs need to be used at its 4 corners and 4 additional mounting holes else the board might be bent if the screws are over-tightened. At minute 24’, the thermistor wires are cut and there’s no longer a thermistor hooked up to the fan control circuit (IC1 and Q7, Q8 on the LPF unit board), I suspect the cooling fan is permanently disabled.
