Subj: Yaesu FT-290 - you need to replace the foam!

It seems that after 25 years the foam on the inside of both covers
decomposes into goo! It loses its elastic properties and when touched
will turn into a liquid.

Thus I recommend that the foam should now be replaced on all FT-290 rigs.

73, Phil.
