[Heathkit] HW 101 Drive Belts

[Greg Mijal]

ACE hardware carries rubber like O rings that work great.  Take the old one 
with you and buy one that is about 10 percent smaller than the one you 
removed.
Suggest you check the crystal for activity with a signal generator and a 
scope.  Scope on one leg, generator on the other. Sweep past the marked 
frequency and you should see a burst of energy on the marked frequency. 
Tune slowly, the Q of a crystal is sky high.  If it does the burst of  rf 
energy thing then check it with a freq counter.  Sometimes people switch 
crystals from Heathkit to Heathkit and not all crystals are compatable with 
all circuits. Things like HW 101 crystals are not necessarily totally 
compatable with a SB 401 even if the freq's match. Also, make sure the 
tuning coil is still mechanically good and will adj the uh's when turned.
Have fun
