[HeathKit] Slippage/Backlash in SB-101 dial

[Gary Schafer]

Seems to me that somewhere years ago I remember reading and maybe doing, was to
reverse one of the disks on the tuning shaft. The parts that form the grove that
rides on the main dial. Not sure if it will work on heath or was done on another
radio.
