Has anyone any info on servicing one of these?

The power control is out of alignment (about 3/4 of the way up it suddenly
jumps into TX at full power, with it being very sensitive to get any control
between full and no power).

Possibly a bias problem on the PA?

And the power meter needs re-aligning.

And the FM deviation is too high.

Can anyone point me towards the internal pots?

That is a useful link.

I see they have manuals for the FT101 as well:

Wasn't there someone who couldn't tune the PA on one of these as some pages
were missing from his manual?

Isn't that the same chappy who's radio scheme enjoins potential
candidates to 'repair their rigs with gusto' (or some such claptrap
phrase) but neglects to mention that he only advises they do so to
low-powered transistorised rigs, and avoids compact valve PAs with
600VDC on the anodes?

ISTR it was the same fool who couldn't tell one end of the
resistor colour codes from the other and hence posited that
resistors were polarised?

What a silly boy!
