Both power supplies FP-12 and FP-4 use the same (TA7089M) voltage regulator IC which was used in some Yaesu FP- power supplies.  The regulator was available in an 8-pin radial lead package which is no longer available. So the TA7089P in a 14-pin DIP package must be used as a replacement. Yaesu use to sell a replacement TA7089P in a 14-pin DIP package for these power supplies (P/N D3000448) it was mounted on a small circuit board with wires attached, however even this item is also no longer available.  So when looking for the regulator I.C. you are  basically on your own finding one.
