Im looking into a Yaesu FR50B (advertised as working...which of course
it's not!) and noticed two things...

1) It's wired for 100VAC (but has jumpers for 117...yay!)
2) There's a knob that's only a dummy, and is held on by a bolt!!! (there
was 	never a control behind the VFO/Crystal select switch)
3) It's much more nicely wired than my FTDX560.
4) I cant find ANY documentation on the web.

Can anyone help with a manual/schematics? I have audio, but absolutely
no peaking of the RF stage with the "preselector" control. Im also not
sure what the Monitor control does!

Thanks in advance for any help!

PS: Also looking for a meter cover for a SMeter for a RF100B/FL100B

Thanks!
