Yaesu FT-1000 help. TX bad?

[W4AWI]

CQ and thanks for your help. Its my first post. Im in charge of selling a large pile of old ham gear (an estate sale). There is an FT-1000 which looks great and RX is great. However I cannot get power to TX. I dont have the mic so I cant do a whistle test. I put it on CW and press MOX, Yesterday I saw maybe 25 W and today nothing. The tuner off or on, and into a near 50 Ohm load (antenna).
is this Tx dead or did I miss something? I have never had a Yaesu after the FT-101 series, (Icom ever since)

Depends on which version...there have been like 5...menu driven...power is adjusted via menu and sometimes a secondary front panel control...check version and specific manual for that model.
All the Best

The suffix letter (after the "1000") tells you which radio you have.

They tend to be very different from one to the next.

He said it was an Ft 1000.

no D, mark V, MP, Field, ect

I bet it will show output power in the Am and/or Fm mode
