[Yaesu] Yaesu parts - the saga continues

[VR2BrettGraham]

Two experiences:

1. When buying an FT100 VFO knob to put on my K2, the helpful
Yaesu parts people asked me if I wanted the rubber ring, too.

2. When buying replacement transistors for a low level driver on
HF/6m PA board for FT847 that they said they had stock of what
sole supplier said had been discontinued & could not recommend
any substitute, I was sent something else.  Board taken to JA &
now with factory for repair.

On plus side, was able to buy parts from elsewhere despite
having local Yaesu office here.
