[Heathkit] Re: HW-101

[Ted Bruce]

When I replaced mine early last year, I used a braided
 fishing line, which is very strong, abrasion
resistant, and doesn't stretch.  It was "Spiderwire"
brand, bought at Walmart a few years ago.  I'm not
sure if the same Kevlar-based product is available
anymore.  The new Spiderwire product seems to be
polyethylene filament braids, but DuPont Spectra-based
zero-stretch braided line is available under the brand
name Western Filament Tuf Line XP.

I also restrung a couple of Hallicrafters receivers'
dials with it.

with dial string 
kits.)
