#59 Yaesu FT-101 Series Part 1 Preliminary Test
In this video we look at the 10 dollar flea market Yaesu FT-101. I installed the missing boards and components and we give the radio a over look to see where it is electrically. Inside we find the Mylar capacitors on the audio board have heavy moister damage. We also discover the wrong audio board was previously installed.
