Hi Marcel, What is your story regarding your new FT301, why did you purchase this radio? What parts are you needing? When I first saw this radio back in 1979 I fell in love with it and purchased the

Hello Joel, I’ve the same problem but I’ve located the damaged parts in the schematic! 73 Marcel DK1NL

Hello, I’m a new user in this group. Yesterday I bought a FT-301 and the tune knob is replaced. I want to make this rig original and perhaps is here somebody that has a spare knob and want to sell

Hello Marcel, It’s good to hear that you have solved your problem. I’m not sure what is causing that failure, but perhaps there will be a few more ! 73 from Calgary… Joel Weder VE6EI

Well, I’m glad I didn’t try too hard to find a replacement pot. As I was taking the old one out I realized one of the traces underneath was cracked. Patched that and I’m back in action. Who

Got the radio re-assembled the other day. Installed LED's in place of the three incandescent bulbs. Trying diffused yellow, as I've always felt the white bulbs gave the front panel a too-stark

Yes Joel….I did it and found some improvement, but the rig I was working on had had a hard life. Dave….G4DAX.

Has anyone actually done this part of the FT-301 alignment? On 4.0 MHz you adjust T2 & T3 for maximum output power. Then adjust T1 for best Rx sensitivity. Problem is that all three of these in the

Hi Fred, Thanks for your ideas. I've never even heard of friction modifiers, but hey I guess I learned something today. Sounds like I might be making a trip to Canadian Tire on the weekend. Check them

Joel,I'd look at Tri-Flo, or the special mix I use...50/50 synthetic motorcycle chain lube and Park Tool synthetic bicycle grease.I've reconditioned many Yaesu and Kenwood VFO drives with this

Well darn, that shaft was NOT bent. But still several points in rotation of the shaft where it "sticks" momentarily. Perhaps some fresh grease might help? Anybody have a suggestion for a good grease

I uploaded some photos, including a couple of the shaft in question, but forgot to click the "Notify..." button. The photo folder is called "FT-301 VFO Mechanism Repair" for whoever's interested. This

Hi Joel, That sounds familiar! If you roll the shaft on a flat surface,like a glass desktop or similar,you will probably see that it’s a bit bent.? I took a bunch of measurements and made sketches

I've disassembled the VFO mechanism sufficiently that I know the culprit. I just don't know what to call it, as there's no mechanical drawing in the manual, or list of VFO mechanical parts that I can

I travel for work for months at a time. Bringing projects with me saves my sanity! Make sure to have a plastic bin handy to catch the tiny balls in the vernier as you disassemble and clean. They can

Hi Jon, Well I must commend you on your determination, working on that radio in a hotel room! Lucky that you had access to a lathe. I don't know anyone who has one, but perhaps I can find a way to

I had a similar binding problem on my FT-221. It turned out the central shaft in the vernier drive was slightly bent. I convinced it back into straightness with a lathe, a maple dowel and a bit of

Well I decided to get brave and just try it. A step by step procedure to remove the VFO assembly from my FT-301: - Unplug RCA connector on bottom of VFO - Remove white tape from connector at back of

Hi again, I'd pretty much finished restoring my FT-301 analog rig, but have noticed that the dial has three spots in every revolution where it catches just a bit. Right around 14, 47 and 80 kHz
