Yaesu FT-ONE HF Transceiver Capacitor Kit

Description: Yaesu FT-ONE HF Transceiver Capacitor Kit This is a complete electrolytic capacitor replacement kit for the Yaesu FT-ONE HF Transceiver. The FT-ONE is truly a collector's item for the vintage ham radio enthusiast and represents one of the best of the '80's in HF gear. Electrolytic capacitors have a design life span which one has to recognize if the intent is to keep your FT-ONE running for a long time to come. Electrolytic's over time change value due to leakage, electrical stress, heat exposure etc., and can be very annoying to trouble shoot especially when intermittent. There are 247 small electrolytic's used in the FT-ONE so for those who like probability calculations, figure out the failure rate possibility for capacitors that already have 25 years of service! In all cases the capacitors have been replaced with the exact value of the original, but in many cases I was able to take advantage of smaller modern day components increasing the voltage rating of the replacement unit. Technical Notes: ** Included in the kit is an installation guide to help those along who might feel a bit nervous doing this type of board work.** There is no re-tuning required as the capacitors being changed are power supply related, or audio coupling/decoupling. Minor adjustment of the VOX controls may be required when new capacitors are installed.** Installation Time is approximately 12 hours from start to finish for an experienced technician used to doing this work. For all others take your time and enjoy. Its a great project! The kit is comprised of 247 capacitors in all, axial caps included. The capacitor kit shown in the photo is generic in nature as I have a wide variety of kits for Icom, Kenwood and Yaesu. Capacitors used in the kit are brand new Nichicon/Panasonic and Illinois Capacitor for axial mounts, rated at 85 deg. C or higher.
