[Heathkit] Re: HW101 belts source

Yes, Bob,

Look in the better hardware stores and auto parts stores for "O" rings.
You need a 1/8 wide number -226 (2 inch i.d..) or -227 (2-1/8 i.d.)
belt. The bigger one is dine for the driver and preselector, but I found
that I needed a tighter one, the #226 for the plate loading, since my
loading cap is a bit harder to turn.
