Hi,
I have several Heathkit radios in captivity here and the HR-10 has one
(terribly) mismatched knob. At hamfest I found a box of cr*p with two of
those knobs in it. So I bought the whole box. Yeah..one of "those"
deals. I have cleaned up the knobs to now discover that Heathkit used
some darker gray and some very light gray (almost cream colored) knobs.
Mine are the dark gray like the drive control and mic gain on the
DX-100. But the HR-10, DX-60, and HW-16 have the lighter colored knobs.
The one that fits the volume control is the one I need. I don't need the
tiny red or black knobs nor the larger tuning knobs.
Does anybody have one of those that is not needed any more? While we are
at this, I have a couple of the darker gray knobs a la DX-100 that are
available to whomsoever needs one (or two). All the rest of the knobs on
all of my radios are "good". I loaned out the HR-10 and it came back
with the substitute knob several years ago. The guy apologized for
losing the knob. The one he subbed looks awful. I want to use the radio
again and that means I have to *LOOK* at and touch it.
