Dial belts again

[bill kraeling]

Some more information on belts.  I have a catalog that lists a full
inventory of belts by size.  I am not an SB owner but the belt may be
included.  The company is Consolidated Electronics in Dayton Ohio telephone
1 800 543 3568.  They have a web site www.celtron.com.

I have need for a transistor 417-261 TD401.  There is a ecg, number 84 but
it is listed as no longer available. Can anyone help?

I am an avid heathkit fan having built many between 1958 until their demise
as a premium kit maker.  Although I am a ham and did build a Mohawk and
Marauder(which I no longer have), my interest is in test gear and hi fi.

I have seen many a problem resolved with this site and support its mission.
Aside from the occasional philosophical frenzy most of the discussions are
quite helpful.
