SB-401 LMO

[Glen Zook]

A few days ago I acquired a Heath SB-401 and an SB-303
to emulate my "3rd" station (starting with novice,
etc.) which I sold off after acquiring a couple of
Collins S-Lines about 25 years ago.  The SB-303 had an
audio problem which I was aware of before acquiring
the unit (took a couple of transistors and replacing a
wrong value - installed by previous owner - resistor -
now works fine).  The SB-401 was intermittent, finally
found that problem (bad solder joints).  Now, there is
a problem with the LMO.

The manual states that the SB-401 uses a model #110-32
LMO.  This unit has installed a #110-40 LMO.  The LMO
works, but the problem is that it will only turn
slightly over 3 turns from end to end.  This, of
course, will not allow the dial to track at all.  The
proper LMO should have slightly over 5 turns from end
to end.

Question:  What unit was the #110-40 used in and does
anyone out there have a #110-32 LMO?  Maybe a swap if
the #110-40 is desirable.

If the #110-40 replaced the #110-32, is there
something that was done with the dial?  Or, is there
something wrong with the stops on my #110-40 LMO?

Have owned plenty of Heathkits over the years (now am
recreating my "2nd station" which was a DX-100 - now
have - and a Hallicrafters S-85 - don't have) but this
is a new one on me.
