This excellent hybrid transceiver was designed by
Yeasu in the mid seventies, manufactured by Uniden in Japan and and sold by Henry Radio in
California. I believe that Uniden branded units were also sold in
Europe. It is a solid state design except for the 12BY7A driver and the two 6146B
finals. It has an odd hybrid frequency display with 3 led digits and vertical
drum. It has a mix of plug-in boards and hard to remove boards. Don't
restore one of these unless you have good lab equipment and skills to
match.
