[Heathkit] HW-100 question

[Bwana Bob]

Sandy:

My recollection is that the window was installed at the factory. The  
original window would warp or the glue would dry out and the window 
would fall off.  I fabricated a new one on a friend's HW-100 by printing 
a line on a piece of paper, then making a photocopy onto a sheet of view 
graph transparency film.  then cut the film to size and cemented it to 
the panel using 5-minute epoxy. The only difference is that the line is 
black instead of white like the original.

                         73,

                         Bob WB2VUF
