[Heathkit] HW-8 tuning capacitor

Hi Guys,

>He said he's looking at a lot of overtime coming up at work so I offered to

      I saw this and since I'm working a KWM-2A I happen to notice the 
loading and tuning caps for the 2A and
I'm sure the rest of the S-Line transmitters-------Guess what---------SAME 
THING!!
I've got a unit I've been looking for a cap for a long time------FOUND 
IT!  Guess what else.
I believe that the Jackson drives that the Heath Co. used are alos made by 
the same co.  I have several new ones
and they look the same.  I should be able to rescue a GE E-155 Console that 
needs a replacement reduction
drive with their parts.   Larry, I'd kiss ya but your the wrong SEX!!



Thanks!!
