Biggest issues on older Yaesu radios and no doubt others is Crystals that have drifted way out that cannot be pulled and the glue that corrodes wires.
Replacement crystals are hard to find and the good old manufacturers are long gone. If you go to Holland etc don't expect any change from £100 for one crystal, avoid Chinese ones as they are not correctly aged.
Some radios EG the FT-480R use the M57713 Module, they are long out of production and the Chinese ones are all Fakes.
The FT767GX will normally go for £250-350. A nice radio but spares are difficult.
