The FRG-7 (photo by Lex PH2LB)
One of my favourite radios is the Yaesu Musen FRG-7 which dates back to around 1977. I desperately wanted one when I was kid, but I remember they were about $450 AUD and which equaled about 3 years of my pocket money.
About maybe eight years ago I stumbled across one on that auction site and it rekindled my teenage interest in shortwave radio. On a whim I bought the radio for $150 (cheap) and it still sits proudly in my radio shack.
Lex PH2LB does real nice mods and repairs on old FRG-7s and posts his adventures on his blog. His latest project has been a 3D printed tuning knob. Nice job!
Another mender not ender.
Until next time, peace and love.
