Heathkit HW-101 Rubber 'O' Ring Tuning Belts

[E. Jerold Forwood]

The ones supplied by the "others" are still the same O-rings as those you
can buy at the hardware store. Be careful as to size, thicker diameter of
the belt's cross section is better, and you will get several years life.
Also be careful to not use ones that will put too much tension on the
pulleys, as this will cause the shafts to bend and the capacitor plates
to move.  It is possible to make the plates touch and short out.
You can pay as much as you want.  I have seen them advertised for as much
as $15.00 a set.  But I'll bet the seller paid at least $0.50 each for
them at his local hardware store.
