Yaesu FT101/FT101B/FT101E/FT101EE/FT101EX Electrolytic rE-Cap Kit

Description: This auction is for the Premium KK4HXJ rE-Cap kit for Yaesu FT101 - FT101B - FT101E - FT101EE - FT101EX Radios (This does not fit 101ZD radios as the capacitor requirements are substantially different) I offer these kits to simplify the process of obtaining the necessary components to do a DIY capacitor replacement Premium Kits include: High Quality Panasonic FC Series Capacitors (2.2-100uF values are 50v 220-2200uF values are 25v) 1uF/50v and 2.2uF/450v are Nichicon The 22uF/250v Capacitors are SC Brand (Premium Taiwanese Mfd)All Supplied Capacitors are Radial Leads, some models have a few Axial Caps on the bottom side of the board, these values are supplied as Radial caps in this kit. The Yaesu FT101 Series Radios are excellent performers and are worthy candidates for a Do It Yourself capacitor upgrade. They are uncluttered, easy to work on, well labeled, and with the service manual (readily available online free of charge), well documented. If you are looking at this auction, you likely realize that Electrolytic capacitors have a finite life, most Consumer Grade electrolytics including modern units have engineered lives of 1000-5000 hours at which point they begin to fail, which includes changing values, increased electrical leakage, increased ESR or outright failure such as opening up or shorts, many times these failures are cumulative and result in the gradual loss of performance. This upgrade will improve the function and reliability of these fine radios and extend their useful Life. Faulty capacitors are the cause of a significant amount of problems with electronic equipment and I have repaired hundreds of units in which the only fault was one or 2 defective Electrolytic capacitors. Replacing all out of spec capacitors is recommended and often restores the equipment to like new performance. Failure to replace them can result in failure/stress to other components such as transformers, transistors and diodes, many of which are hard to replace due to lack of suitable components. Recapping is a good investment and an immensely satisfying project. Work slow, have fun and prepare to be impressed with your work. I only sell capacitor replacement sets, repair kits, accessories and information for Equipment That I Own and/or Service, and have done the replacements myself. This includes Vintage Realistic DX Receivers & CB Radios, Kenwood/Icom/Yaesu HF Tranceivers/Receivers, Micronta VOM's & Various VTVM's. I have been repairing and racapping this equipment for about 20 years and often had difficulty finding the necessary values of capacitors._____________________________________________ FT101 FT101B FT101E/EE/EX 1uF/16V (50V Supplied) 10 11 10 2.2uF/16V(50V Supplied) 0 1 1 10uF/16V (50V Supplied) 8 9 8 22uF/16V (50V Supplied) 6 2 2 33uF/16V (50V Supplied) 0 1 1 47uF/16V (50V Supplied) 1 1 1 100uF/16V (50V Supplied) 6 8 7 220uF/16V (25V Supplied) 2 4 4 470uF/16V (25V Supplied) 6 1 1 1000uF/25V (25V Supplied) 4 4 4 22uF/250V 4 4 4 2.2uF/250V 1 1 1 Total 48 47 44 Total Capacitors in Kit 56 This kit does not include the 100uF/500V (C1501/C1502) HV Filter Caps I offer these in a separate listing 150uF/500V upgraded Units available here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/332551718100 I Ship First Class with tracking to meet eBay Guidelines U.S. Shipper - Ships immediately I Combine shipping on all auctions - Please add all items to shopping cart before checkout - eBay usually charges the correct shipping - if you order more than 1 item and eBay does not calculate combined shipping correctly, you can either wait for an invoice with the total, or go ahead and pay for all items with ebay calculated shipping and I will refund you any overages, based upon the actual cost of shipping! - In no case will shipping ever exceed $7.20 Thanks for looking and 73's from Kentcraft, LLC & KK4HXJ eBay Store
