Now a retired Electro-mechanical technician,
I repair & service the FT-101 in my spare time.
I also sell FT-101 B/E/F series radio parts on eBay.

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)
