Wow, has the price of tubes gone way up? You can buy a new solid state
ricebox with all bands up to 440 (sadly minus 222) for just a bit
more...I better dust off my old Kenwood 520S. I tried to sell it for
$300 a couple years ago (at a hamfest where people could even see it!)
and not even a bite....or even a lowball offer

It only has three tubes... a 12BY7 and two 6JS6C's.

For some reason the Yaesu FT-101 rigs got a large cult following with the
"freeband" illegal CB crowd - probably because they had an 11 meter
position on the bandswitch (receive only) and it only took a trivial
effort to get it to transmit there. They also had AM. In fact, I
believe there were more of these rigs sold to CB'ers than to hams.

I can remember one fellow who brought his Yaesu into the shop where I
worked during graduate school. He put in new tubes but did not know how
to neutralize the finals. I told him that the only way I would work on
it was if I restored the radio to its original condition. He agreed,
saying that even _he_ could modify it back the way it was. I learned
that one nearby CB'er even had a Collins S-line transmitter and receiver
on 11 meters!

Got an 0x800C006F error when I tried to post through Charter. As soon as
I posted the message through Eternal-September, Charter sent my original
message - twice. My apologies...

A-ha! I have a plain FT-101 that was given to me years ago. I'll have
to check and see if it has the same 11M selection. Maybe I'm sitting on
enough cash to buy another transverter or two for the microwave bands
