[Heathkit] HW-101

[Bwana Bob]

Bill:

I have an HW-100 and after about a 30 minute warmup, the drift is minimal.

You may have to replace or experiment with the temperature compensating 
capacitors in the VFO.  It may also be that Q942, which acts like a 
zener diode to regulate the FET voltage, has failed.

Does yours eventually stabilize or does it drift "forever"?

Only problem is VFO drifts a bit so guess I need to go into it. Anyone cured this? Restoration can be seen at: http://www.radioremembered.org/HW-101.html
