This auction is for a replacement Filter Capacitor kit for the Yaesu and
Kenwood Radio models listed below:
Yaesu FT101 (all Models - B/E/EE/EX/F/FE/FX), FT102
FT101 - FT101B - FT101E - FT101EE - FT101F - FT101FE - FT101FX
Kenwood TS-510, TS-520, TS-530, TS-820, TS-830
including S Models of each)
and likely many more models
These capacitors replace the original 100uF capacitors with 150uF caps which
is recommended for filtering
Note: While other kits report that they fit the Yaesu FT901 and 902, and it is
true that this value of capacitor is also used in the Yaesu FT901 and FT902 -
it requires a bit of work to adapt this capacitor to fit as the mounting is
very different on this radio -this is the most reasonable and cost effective
capacitor for this application, but be prepared to adapt the snap in
connections to the long solder terminals - The long solder terminals extend
through 2 circuit boards in this radio- see the supplied photo of an FT901
Filter Cap Board in the auction listing - I do not suggest ordering these or
any other filter capacitors for this radio unless you have researched and
accept the need to make this adaptation as the mounting on these radios is very
difficult and the caps are well buried - I will be working on a simplified
solution as I am a fan of these radios and have an interest in keeping them
running
Information and photos are available at the excellent foxtango.org web site
This kit includes:
2 x Nichicon 150uF/500v Capacitors (Replacing the original 100uF/500v Units)
These are New Production Nichicon GN Series Capacitors
Nichicon part # LGN2H151MELC25
2 x 1/2 Watt 470K Ohm Metal Film Resistors
Bleeder resistors used in both Kenwood and Yaesu applications)
and
2 x .01uF 1000V Ceramic Capacitors
only used for Kenwood applications)
these are 35mm Wide and 25mm tall - they are the correct diameter to fit the
stock capacitor mounts perfectly, and they are significantly shorter than stock
they are 3000 hour (at 750ma ripple), 105 degree, +/-20% rated capacitors and
are the de-facto standard for cap replacement in these radios
These caps are far superior to what was available then, and since these are
strained a great deal in operation - these are generally replaced more often
than the other caps in the radio - also the originals were only rated for
around 1000 hours of operation
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.
