[Heathkit] HW-101 LMO IN HW-100??

[Bwana Bob]

Yes, there was a way to put the HW-101 dial drive in an HW-100. Heath 
actually provided instructions and a parts list.  It wasn't simple.  
Because the capacitor shaft positions were not exactly the same between 
the 100 and 101, the capacitor and front panel had to be changed.  
Another popular mod was to replace the HW-100 dial drive with a Swan 
drive and knob, but of course, it wouldn't look quite like a Heathkit.
