My first impression of Yaesu customer service is good!
I bought an old Yaesu 2M mobile (FT-2600) at the Marlborough flea. After several hours of trying to understand how it worked I realized the front panel rubber pushbuttons were worn out and functioned intermittently (especially the one that had a aluminum foil and rubber band repair job)
A few days and a few emails later I found that Yaesu's parts people (Vertex in California) still had some in stock even though they've been obsolete for a while. $3.05!!!! They could have easly said "That radio is too old. Throw it away and buy another." For $3 I get to fix my radio!!!!
