Re: VR6501

 

VR6501

 

Does anyone have the Yaesu and/or manufacturer¡¯s part number for VR6501? ?This is the dual 10k pot used to control AF and RF. My shaft got bent due to the sellers horrible packing. I scoured all the different forms of the service manual and I could not find a comprehensive parts list like what is found on newer rigs. ?I saw the earlier post about Yaesu-UK, but due to shipping delays from UK, I want to try to get the part in the US.?

Hi Karl,
Signalink is good.? I've been using one on both my 847 and also on my FT-2000D. They are very simple to use and fast to get up and going.

MiniPro SC by G4ZLP. Cable is available for both the Packet and HF Data ports. I've used one with both an 847 and 817, works very well.

Best interface that worked best ?

 

Hello Group,

Any input on interface to purchase ? Thought about Signalink but uses mic input ?
Any advice would help out.
Thanks in advance.

I'm restoring an old FT-847 after a visit from "Mr. Lightning". Yaesu UK seems to have a lot of parts in stock. I managed to get "impossible" parts trough them.
You need VR6502 from Panel Unit? Send them a mail.

*WTB* Yaesu FT 847 parts needed

David A. Holt / KI6JPE
 

I inherited an FT 847 from my late Brother's estate. The town building inspector shipped me some items from his estate to me in California, one of which was my brothers' FT 847.

Unfortunately he had no knowledge of proper packaging, and in transit something happened to it on it's first transfer in Springfield MA, and knobs on the front were bent/broken.

I am in need of this control:

SQL and keyer speed

I contacted Yaesu and was able to obtain the Mic/RF PWR control so I can replace the existing one, and with very careful manipulation fixed the DSP control.

Does anyone have an old non-working 847 (burned up finals) with good front controls that you'd be willing to part with as a parts radio? Yaesu tells me some of these controls are no longer available through them.

Please help.

TNX & 73

Hi guys,
I'm restoring an old FT-847 damaged by lightning a lot of years ago and had been lying in the schack collecting dust, according to the previous owner.
After replacing the main CPU on the AF/CNTRL board the radio woke up from it's Cinderella sleep and the most things are ok now except the internal keyer.
I have also replaced the one-chip microprocessor MB8854-1244M which in fact is the keyer.
It is impossible to key the transmitter in CW-mode, nothing happens when I try.
I have run out of ideas and if someone has any suggestions please share them with me.

Hi Nils and welcome to the group.? I hope you are able to restore that fine radio.? However, with lighting strikes it could be just a fuse or it could lead to a whole lot of replacement parts needed.? Just depends on how much damage there is.? Good luck with it though and keep us in the loop as to your finding.
