[Heathkit] Love Affair with old HW 100 Tube Xcvr. {01}

[Tracy]

The quickest replacement for the drive belts I have found is your local
auto parts store. Take your old drive belt in and tell them you need a
replacenment O-Ring and have them match it. Beware if you go to some od the
dept. store type autoparts ie. adapt, autozone they will tell you they have
to have make and model or they cant match it BOOK IDIOTS so just tell the
it is a water pump seal off some 1920 forien job and then they can just
matcth it up. Dont try to tell them it belongs tro a radio they dont stock
radio parts!

Good Luck '73
