Description:

Here you are purchasing a total of (1) YAESU VC2 AIR VARIABLE CAPACITOR 

 This item was previously used in a late FT-101-E, it was tested & then carefully removed to be sold as "for parts".

This was thoroughly tested, it functioned perfectly.

This item is from the late 1970's, it is now 40 plus years old.

It has age related patina.

and most likely has nicotine stains, because many Hams smoked backed in the 1970s, 

Please see the main photo with the inventory sticker for a detailed visual description.

This very popular item unfortunately does not have any capacitance value listed on it.  

Its' value however is listed in the Yaesu FT-101 service manual as (300 pf). 

I've tested VC2 ( C123A129 ), the photos show you the readings I get on a Fluke meter,  set to read capacitance.   

Photo #4, I have used a .047 cap to show you the fluke is functioning correctly and properly set.  

Photo #5 shows a reading of  nF = 1.06   (uF = 0.00106 / pF = 1060) 

Photo #6 shows nF = .38   ( uF = 0.00039 / pF = 390) 


Fluke meter and its cables are used for demonstrative purposes and are not included in the sale.
