[Heathkit] WTB: HW-101 and/or SB-102

[Glen Zook]

Just a "hint".  The SB-101 is the same as the SB-102
except that it uses a tube type LMO instead of the
solid-state LMO as does the SB-102.  Frankly, many
SB-102 LMOs don't track that well.  They are usually
pretty much "on" at the 100 KHz points but can vary a
good amount in between.  Virtually every tube type LMO
that I have seen (in all of the Heath SB-Line
equipment) has tracked very well, usually well within
1 KHz at any point between the 100 KHz points.

I recently had in my posession to repair an SB-102 and
it suffered from the same malady.  No less than 4
other LMOs (the solid-state used in the SB-102) were
obtained to try to rectify this situation.  All 4 of
them were worse than the original!  It seems that the
manufacturer of the solid-state LMOs didn't take the
care that TRW (and a couple of other manufacturers)
used when manufacturing the tube-type LMO units.  This
fact has been borne out by several others with
experience with the SB-102.
