Description

This is a complete electrolytic capacitor replacement kit for the Yaesu FT-707 transceiver. Electrolytic capacitors have a design life span which one has to recognize if the intent is to keep your FT-707 running for a long time to come. Electrolytic's 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 99 small electrolytic's used in the FT-707 so for those who like probability calculations, figure out the failure rate possibility for capacitors that already have 25 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: ** There is no retuning of the radio required as the capacitors being changed are power supply related, or audio coupling/decoupling. Minor adjustment of the VOX controls may be required when new capacitors are installed. ** Installation Time is approximately 6 hours from start to finish for an experienced technican used to doing this work. For all others take your time and enjoy its a great project! The kit is comprised of 99 capacitors The capacitor kit photo is a generic photo used to cover a wide range of capacitor kits for Kenwood,Yaesu and Icom radios.
