The doc is in the SB-100 manual on pg. 66-67. A copy of the stringing diagram is on the 
Nostalgic Kit Central website at http://www.qsl.net/kb7rgg. There are also digital photos of an 
actual installation. Just go to the Heathkit page and select the appropriate two choices under 
Heathkit Modifications. It's a very worthwhile change. btw - there is a lot of other HW/SB mod 
stuff in there.
