The new Smithsonian cellphone exhibit is pretty amazing, with interactive selfie tower phones, amazing artwork, and a fix your phone station (with top-notch tools)! #UnseenConnections

@heytae@iFixit@YAESUUK Previous experience with that component failing on similar radios. I've replaced that IF crystal filter on an FTM-350R and a different FTM-10R as well.
It's also not really moisture, maybe oil or something else?
My Yaesu FTM-10R mobile radio was unable to properly receive signals anymore. The receive sensitivity was around 16-25uV(!!). One replacement 450khz IF crystal filter from the Yaesu parts store later and it's good as new! #righttorepair@iFixit@YAESUUK
Note the strange looking moisture on the filter in the second photo. Not sure what causes that, but it's the same symptoms as I've seen previously. The obvious blue corrosion is seen in the last photo. Receive sensitivity after the fix was back to 0.2-0.3uV. Perfectly in spec.
Always glad to support #learnbydoing with the students from the @CalPoly@PolyEngineering Amateur Radio Club! Happy 75th anniversary! https://t.co/ddOBEZ6zw0
