Due to several comments concerning attempts to contact Yaesu have been
met with no contact or delays, I thought I'd pass on the info I made
available to another on this list. I have found that by using the
email/internet approach first then following up via phone to finalize my
purchases seem to be reasonably successful. Hopefully this will help
others here on the list.

Reid, W4UPD

Directly from Yaesu. You go to sales (email) to get the part number for
the item # in your IPB. Then when they send you the part number, you
forward the email to parts and they give you a price. You can order via
mail, but since you don't know the shipping and I am in the US here, I
just finally follow up with ordering via a phone call to the parts
department.

Excerpt from their email: (We do not sell parts internationally you can
contact [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> and they will refer
you to the office you need to contact)
