[Yaesu] FT-1000D vacum tube display

[Kjell W. Strom]

Raf,

I had the same problem with my FT-990, which had been on a 24/7
Amtor/Pactor duty. There is still a bright blueish VFD display
behind the dense orange filter, which is probably passing only a
few percent of the brightness. You can see my description here:

I have seen mention of Yaesu USA doing a Blue Display
Modification, but I don't know if they have available an
escutcheon without the orange filter, or if they are simply
cutting it away, like I did.

73,
Kjell, PB3SM - SM6CPI
