GB> HW-101 VFO Question

[john]

Hi John,
Opening up the drives (and getting them back together!) is not
too bad a job. The trick is to do it as few times as possible as
the tabs WILL break if flexed enough.
Getting enough pressure , but not TOO much pressure is a "cut and
try" process to be sure, but I've done several with good results
