Yaesu FT200/FP200 cables - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Recently obtained a tidy FT200 and matching FP200 PSU/Speaker.
Unfortunately the PO's wife got rid of the interconnecting cable and ACC plug.
So looking for a cable set, or the plugs/socket to make my own.

Any clues as to where i can find a Yaesu NOS set?

Hi Glenn

These do come up occasionally on eBay but for the power connectors mostly in the US version, someone used to sell kits of parts. I haven't looked in a long time

The ACC plug is the same accross most Yaesus of that era so easier to find in UK. It only needs 1 link to get the PA filaments lit so can be done with some stiff wire.

Patience will be required for the power cable

If you search on Ebay for "11 pin Yaesu" (without the quotes) you will find some offerings - both male and female - which might be what you want - though you will also have to find a suitable multi-way cable. Prices are frightening though by the time you include the postage - hope you got a substantial discount off the radios for losing key parts of them!

P.S. Isn't "NOS" a tall order for something this old?

Thanks for the comments, I managed to find a set of 11 pin octal plugs and sockets, plus some 11 core cable, just started to make my own umbilical, but the law of s*d interrupted with a complete set of cable, and 3 spare heater plugs! on ebay. went for a bit more than i planned, but at least the rig is now operational.
Just got to find a couple of xtals now for the full 10m band - 42.5 and 43.5mhz (28.0 - 28.5 and 29.0 - 29.5mhz) if anyone has any?
