[Heathkit] HW-101: Nothing on 15 meters

[Glen Zook]

Clean the bandswitch.

Then check the alignment for the 15 meter heterodyne
oscillator crystal.  The crystal may have aged
slightly and the coil needs to be adjusted slightly.

It is also possible that the crystal has gone bad.  If
so you can order a new one from International Crystal
Manufacturing Company in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.  Do
a "google" on International Crystal and the first
"hit" should be the correct company (they are located
at 10 North Lee Street).

I have an HW-101, that I haven't used in a long time.
It works fine on all bands, except 15 meters.
  
It does not receive any signals and the calibration
oscillator is barely audible. Adjusting the
driver/preselector does not affect the volume of the
calibration oscillator, like on other bands.
