[Heathkit] Drive belts

[Bwana Bob]

Jim:

Check hardware and plumbing supply stores as well. Look for number 227
"O" rings. They are 1/8 inch wide and 2-1/8 i.d. For the final loading,
you may need # 226, which is 2 inch i.d. My loading cap is getting hard
to turn, so I had to go to the smaller belt to keep it from slipping.
Someday I'll go the dial cord route, but I haven't found the right
spring yet.
