Look out for incorrect LED lighting (faulty driver ICs), "deaf" VFO reception on specific bands (oscillator or mixer stage faults), and aging electrolytic capacitors.
The manual’s "Control Unit" schematic shows that the main tuning encoder is a quadrature optical type. It outputs two square waves 90 degrees apart. Using an oscilloscope, you can test at connector J1001, pins 12 and 13. If the waveforms are noisy or missing, you need a new encoder. The manual also shows how to adjust the encoder's internal interrupter disk alignment – a trick not found anywhere else. yaesu ft-1000mp service manual
A genuine Yaesu service manual (often running over 100 pages) contains critical sections: Look out for incorrect LED lighting (faulty driver
You don’t need to wait for a failure. The service manual is also a preventative maintenance tool. Using an oscilloscope, you can test at connector
