Yaesu FL-2000/FLDX-2000 HF Linear Amp. HV Capacitor Kit:
$44.95


As a retired broadcast engineer who has been restoring Kenwood/Yaesu 70\'s and 80\'s series of HF transceivers for many years, I find the one component that deteriorates with time are the electrolytic capacitors.The HV power supply capacitors are under particular stress. If these capacitors fail, there is a good chance of loosing the HV rectifiers in the process and the possibility of a power transformer going with them.

For thoserestoring vintageradios, given the originalcapacitors are now between 25 and 35 years old, changing them now will likely keep these radio\'sgoing for a long time to come.

The replacement capacitors are brand newmade by Nichicon, rated at 105 deg. C and are 150uf at 500volts. The capacitors are 35mm in diameter, matching the original capacitors, but are half the height due to new technology. Included in the kit are three 270K ohm 2 watt resistors to replace R16-R18 which are equalizing and bleeder resistorsthat should be replaced at the same time. Also included are four 56 ohm 1 watt resistors (plate parasitic resistors)to replace R1-R4that often burn or change value with time and heat.

These capacitors are 20% higher in capacity than the originals, which will \"stiffen\" the HV power supply and consequently provide sligthly higher peakoutput power due to the reduced sag in high voltage on voice peaks.

Included in the kits are:

Qty3 150uf/500v capacitors, 35mm diameter

Qty3 270K ohm 2 watt resistors

Qty 4 56 ohm 1 watt resistors
