I have had this unit for many years mine also has the 4 antenna remote unit inside which is great if you have more antenna's.

Need help repairing my FC 107. Insulator is broken on the tuning shaft. Pilot light for watt meter also out. 73s Rob.

[@robbsanderson3572]

I have a Yaseu FC 107 tuner which I’m using with a Kenwood TS 180. I need to replace the ceremanic insulator at the beginning of the tuner shaft, so that whe I’m tuning for low sir there won’t be any play when using the tuner. Any suggestions? 73s Rob wa2fmh.

From experience the rivets become loose. They are in tight but do wear over time. I replaced them in my FC102 and they are rock solid but a known issue. If you try to drill the rivers you will undoubtedly break the ceramic insulator. There’s a guy in the UK called HiFiSSB and he normally has a good stock of insulators and could try him.
