I am selling this Sommerkamp Yaesu FT-One which I bought second-hand, working with all extras in good condition, because I moved to an apartment with no access to the roof.

I include a microphone made by Astatic (needs a PP3 battery and rubber feet), user and service manuals as well as a set of awful extender boards I bought from e-bay. The asking price is for everything together; if you sell the parts on e-bay you will make much more! Note that the Decca power meter shown in the pictures is not included (obvious, I know...).

PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL ONLY SELL THIS TRANSCEIVER TO A LICENSED RADIO AMATEUR.

Please state your callsign in the comments field when purchasing.

The problems I know of are:

• The transceiver gives full power (100W) only on 15m. On the other bands it gives about 25-50W (CW, SSB).
• The displayed frequency is about 600Hz higher than the actual operating frequency.
• The lamp that illuminates the rotating dots behind the frequency knob has burnt out. It doesn't offer anything (not even aesthetically), so I didn't replace it.
• FM probably doesn't work, I never tried it. However, it makes plenty of noise during reception, the squelch works and it transmits about 30W on 15m.
• One of the felt pads has fallen off the bottom feet (please see picture).
• The paintwork and plastic parts have their share of chips and dents from age, but nothing particularly drastic.
• The microphone supplied once had a tone control. Its knob is broken. I have set the internal slider potentiometer to "maximum".

I bought the transceiver second-hand, it didn't seem to have been butchered. Here is what I did to it:

• The fan had a lot of dust, I cleaned it.
• The frequency knob squeaked when rotated. I cleaned the bearing and smeared lithium grease on it.
• The compressor was not working at all. I adjusted the VR9005 trimmer as described in chapter [8].(2) of the service manual and now it works fine. I don't know if someone had tried to "adjust" this in the past or whether component drift necessitated its readjustment.
• I cleaned the corrosive glue off the ALC board transformer (see FT-One group on groups.io for info). This had already corroded the transformer wires, so I cut off the corroded ends and extended them with tinned copper wire (see photo).
• I replaced all the ALC board trimmers with new ones from TME because they were completely corroded (they were black and green!) probably due to the use of the same corrosive glue to lock them. I set them as prescribed in the service manual.
• The wire with the yellow heat shrink on the ALC board had a gap in its outer insulation (probably melted with a soldering iron, see photo). I slipped some heat shrink over it.
• I bypassed R18 of the ALC board (see FT-One group on groups.io for info).
• I added a 220nF polyester capacitor between pins 6 and 2 of the MJ9 connector on the chassis to improve the VOX response (see FT-One group on groups.io for info).
• I performed the "fan modification" so that the fan stops when receiving at low temperatures. It seems that this was an official modification by Yaesu as well (see FT-One group on groups.io for info).
• I have replaced the damaged RAM extension board with a new one made by M0STO, which works fine. Note that batteries for this (3 x standard AA, fitted easily) will not be supplied.

I have kept all the original parts and will provide them with the transceiver.

Please note: e-bay seems to no longer provide sellers with the buyer's e-mail address. However, our couriers (the Greek Post Office and ACS) need either an e-mail address or a telephone number for the recipient, otherwise they do not accept the parcel. Other couriers do the same too... So I am afraid I will have to ask you to supply either an e-mail address or a telephone number the courier can contact you on when your parcel arrives. I promise not to use this information for any other reason and to erase it the moment your parcel has left my hands!
