HW-101 dial drive slippage

[john]

Almost assuredly gunked up dried grease in theJackson drives.
You can get both off, although you'll have to take the VFO out
to get the second one out for cleaning, and relubing. Easier
to do than it sounds. If you're up for it, I'll find my post on how
to do it. Takes about 2 hrs to do (and it sure feels nice once redone!)

The HW 101 arguably has better "feel " than it's SB brothers...but only
when those seriesed jackson drives are doing their thing!!
