Yaesu FT-101ZD Capacitor Kit

This is a complete electrolytic capacitor replacement kit (except the 200uf/500V cans) for the Yaesu FT-101ZD transceiver. 

The FT-101ZD 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-101ZD running for a long time to come.  

Electrolytics 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 65 small electrolytics used in the FT-101ZD so for those who like probability calculations, figure out the failure rate possibility for capacitors that already 

hervice! 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 retuning of the radio 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 4 hours from start to finish for an experienced technican. For all others, take you time and enjoy its a great project!

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 any back-ordered part(rare) I substitute with CDE/CHEMI-CON rated at 85 deg. C or higher.

Multiple Orders:

For multiple orders of these kits, or in combination with the HV filter capacitor kits I am happy to offer combined shipping. Please go through the ebay check out, but request "total from seller" and I will adjust the shipping cost and return to you for payment.
