- www.youtube.com/@Radiocrunche... This radio has come in from Derrick one of my supporters and has an issue with the volume/ squelch pot. I believe its similar to the issue with the Sony AIR-7 I repaired so I said I will have a go. This is a 2 metre amateur transceiver so should be very interesting. Grab a cuppa, beer or your favourite tipple and join me in live chat for more radio fun. See you there / radiocruncher

Thank you for the great video!!! With your help I was able to repair my TR 751E and I am totally happy. Best regards!
You’re welcome Dirk and it’s great that you managed to sort yours. They are very nice radios
Hi Graham, Bryan here, many thanks for your video on the Kenwood TR-751 faulty Volume pot, a great help and guide and turned out very a successfull result. gut the worst part was that little circlip, ended up attaching a small round magnet to the pliers to stop it flying off and loosing it! By the way got my licence back in 1968 and at the age of 82 still bombing about on the bands, may catch you on one of the bands in the future. 73's Bryan G8Bii.
Hi Bryan. Very well done fixing yours and I’m glad my video helped. I lost the little circlip once but luckily I was able to buy a replacement. I did check QRZ but looks like we haven’t had a QSO yet. 73’s Graham
Thanks for sharing this information. I have just done the af/squelch and rit and rf gain pots on mine. Fiddly but enjoyable and worth the effort.
Glad to be of assistance Adrian. I searched but couldn’t find a video on how to repair one so I’m sure this has helped a lot of people repair theirs
That kenwood is a nice looking radio and they always build top quality gear. Thanks regards Chris
It certainly is well made. Bit of a cliche but they don’t make em like this any more
These radios have one of the best receivers of all. I have the 70cm version which is also an excellent radio. The problem with the controls is a common one but it's not an easy fix, you need good lighting and decent eyesight and some magnifying lenses etc. If you are not confident then don't attempt it.
I’ve repaired the pots on a few of these now. I agree that they are very good radios
Muchas gracias por el magnifico tutorial para la reparación del potenciómetro multi función del equipo Kenwood TR 751 E . Potenciómetro OFF/ON + VOL+SQl. (Muy difícil de encontrar sustitución por otro que sea valido, no conozco ninguno para comprar que sirva para este equipo)
Hi Julio. Very glad to be able to help you fix yours. I also searched high and low but couldn’t find a replacement.
Nice video and repair mate. Hope you well :) Filipe
Hi Filipe. Thanks very much. I’m good thanks and hope you are doing well
Enjoyed the stream again today Graham. I think it's a change to have some amateur gear for a change.
Thanks for sending it in for me to look at Derrick. Good to know they can be fixed and hopefully it will help others sort their radios
Hi, new to your channel. Were you able to make a videothe 2nd part of the 751e assembly of the pots power/squelch? More power to your station 73! Jojo
Hi Jojo. Yes I did film a part 2 and it’s in the queue to be edited. Thanks for reminding me and for the support. 73 Graham
Graham, if you need to do any delicate sanding or roughing up before appling a glue or coating invest in a little glass pen. I swear by mine. Great for exposing pcb tracks mainly but I've used them for things like this in the past. Just need to make sure you use some tape or a hoover to pick up the splinters as they can be a bugger under your nails. Also if you ever need some epoxy to go off quick try the UV setting stuff, just need a little UV torch.
Thanks for the tips. I do have a fibreglass pen which I use a lot. Melting the track into the plastic holder gives a very good mechanical bond and the glue is just to prevent it happening again. I’d like to give some of that UV cure glue a try sometime
@@Radiocruncher no worries Graham. I have an old Nevada MS-1000 scanner with a similar issue on a dual function pot (channel & squelch) that I'm trying to sort out at the moment :D
Good luck
Wow brilliant work I have. One of these the squelch is gone wonder if I pay for you to come to Australia to fix mine 😀kind regards Fred
I’m happy to have a paid holiday to Aus Fred 😉
Hi I've just bought one of these for 40 pounds is there a audio button anywhere that cuts it out.I get the beep when switched on but no static.
Tia
It’s will be the same problem with the potentiometers failing
I’m licensed amateur my self really nice radio
Thanks. It’s a very well made radio. Let’s hope I can get it working again
@@Radiocruncher I have faith in you 👍👍
im looking a replacement lcd for mine any idea where to get one
Sorry but parts are not available. Martin Lynch is the service agent but unlikely they can help
where can I get Kenwood TR-751 Display ?
Your only chance is if someone is scrapping a set. I don’t have any spares for it
Frank vk5vl in south australia
Hi Frank. I still haven’t got an Australian contact in my log book 😢
Where is part 2...???
Hi. I don't think there was a part 2 but have a look at these links as It's the same radio. ua-cam.com/video/EF9TgiKlawY/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/UGH-C7n3YBI/v-deo.html
