[Heathkit] Problem with HW-101

[Bwana Bob]

Gene,

Try cleaning the relay contacts. The plastic covers will pop off easily.
Squirt them with contact cleaner and run a piece of paper between the
contacts to wipe them clean. If you have "slow recovery" replace the
diode on the IF board, I think its D201. Also clean the socket on the
audio output tube, the 6GW8.
