Yaesu FT-7B HF Transceiver Capacitor Replacement Kit

Description

This is a complete electrolytic capacitor replacement kit for the Yaesu FT-7B transceiver. The FT-7B is truly a collector's item for the vintage ham radio enthusiast.  Electrolytic capacitors have a design life span which one has to recognize if the intent is to keep your FT-7B running for a long time to come.
Part of the restoration process is the replacing of all electrolytic capacitors. 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 45 small electrolytics used in the FT-7B so for those who like probability calculations, figure out the failure rate possibility for capacitors that already have 30 years of service 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.
Included in the kit is an installation guide to help those along who might feel a bit nervous doing this type of board work.
Technical Notes:
* No re-alignment of the radio is required as the capacitors to be changed are all power supply related, audio coupling, and decoupling.
** Installation Time is approximately 4 hours from start to finish for an experienced technician. All others take your time and enjoy, it's a fun project!
The kit is comprised of 45 capacitors
The photo of the kit is generic to cover a wide range of Kenwood,Yaesu, and Icom radios. Please check my other listings for the complete range.
