[Heathkit] [Heathkit:Yahoo] Repair Tip for the SB-Series Dial Follower

[Daniel Yoder]

Hi All,

Can we have some pictures or more of an explanation? The pin that drags the
horizontal lags behind a lot. Do you try to calibrate both dials first than
pin?
Where is this hole that you opened up? Sorry for the questions but this
whole SB-102 dial of mine is in need of real serious repair. Will the
SB-102 pick up a known beacon or freq on 40 meters on the east coast.
I live in Pittsburgh PA and need a strong signal that a dipole can pickup.
Thanks Dan
