Greetings,
I know someone on here is an expert.
I have been off the air for a looongg time.
I have an old, but previously functioning, FT-101EE
wrapped in a plastic bag in my garage. I would
like to put it on the air with a temporary vertical.
It seems to me that many years back, I “restored” my
Johnson T-Bolt by “cooking” the capacitors by starting
off with a power line voltage of 30 VAC or so, and
daily increasing the voltage level around 10 volts
until I was up to 117 VAC. I used what we called a
VARIAC; I guess it is an autotransformer, to adjust
the voltage. The linear worked fine after this type
of seasoning.
Is this what I should pursue with my YAESU? Other
recommendations?
Thanks a bunch in advance, Warren; W7WY
