HW-101

[john]

I just got through taking my 101 jackson drive(s) out and cleaning
them . To do this, you need to take the VFO out (easy... 4 nuts, 3 solder
joints and 3 screws...

You can carefully take the drives apart, clean in kerosene, pack
with lithium grease, and you'll be good for another 20 yrs!
:-)
Feel free to write for details if you need more info.
