HW-101

[Justin L Hall]

Michael-

I had that same problem with the sticking dial.
I took the Jackson Drive out and packed it with grease, but that didn't
100% solve the problem.  Just make sure everything is really clean.
You can get the rubber bands from NAPA Auto Parts, make sure it's tight
enough to not slide.  Those variable caps HAVE to be aligned together.
Or you can get them at a VCR repair shop.
I have a half-dead 101 myself and I'm not experienced enough to know what
to do.

hello all,

    i have a hw-101 that has a sticky dial. when i turn the tuning knob,
the dial sometimes sticks. anyone had this problem and can advise a
remedy?

    also, the rubber "bands" that turn the plate and load capacitors
slide inside the grooved pulley. where can i find replacements or should
i use dial cord, or something like that? or has someone found a way to
attach the rubber to the pulley so it does not slide?

    this is my first total restoration project. the rig is not in bad
shape. receives, but no transmit. i'll save that one for another post.

    many tnx.
