Hi Bob
 
You may be able to get something from RS Components, Rapid Online or  
Farnell but I could not find anything from a quick search on eBay or  Amazon.
 
I found one on http://www.ultrawebb.com/OHP/ in  USA for Heathkit but you 
will have to check their terms of business. Be advised  that if the trimming 
tool is a loose fit in the core it is likely to fracture  the core.

Hi Bob et al


Thanks to all for the welcome messages.


Full licence since 1980 - founded and ran the (first?) Collins Owners  Club 
from '84 to '92 - station came right down to an FT-101E bought in 1994  but 
not used much. Since 2010 have built up a small collection of  sample 
transceivers one from each decade demonstrating the technology in use  at the 
time (FT-77/FC-700 for the '80's, FT-890AT '90's, FT-100D late 90's and  most 
lately an FT-450AT for the 00's). Also have recently added some famous  
accessories I didn't get first time round an FL-3 and an ANC-4 (still  
available?). Also have an HF-150 and PR-150.


Anyway - the HW-101 (for the 60's although a 70's radio) joined the  family 
just a couple of months ago with its HP-23A (which I am about to  rebuild 
with all new C's, R's and D's). The 23A is working and powers the  HW-101 
such that I feel there's not much wrong (??) with either. Belts were  bust but 
have been replaced them with some eBay nitrile O-rings (2 x 50mm x  3mm and 
1 x 58 mm x 3mm). Not too sure about the 6146's but  have bought a pair of 
eBay CV3523's just in case and am considering buying a  full set of tubes 
just in case as well. Does anyone have a recommendation as a  good source? I've 
priced up items from Rod Dill at World Tube, Surplus Sales  and HeathParts. 
Am I OK limiting the expense to UT tubes?


Currently doing preventive maintenance on the 101E (am a member of  the 
FoxTango group on Yahoo) - when that is finished and back on the shelf the  
HP-23A will come up onto the bench and after that the  HW-101. Whoopee.


BTW all the radios are getting used on a monthly rotational basis -  "5 and 
9 here OM. I'm using an HW-101 this end" (this month).


I look forward to having a few problems I need to ask the group for  
possible solutions - response will be much appreciated.


Bob - is there somewhere in the UK I can get a hex. core alignment tool  
for the IF transformers? I've clearly lost the one I though I had.

Ken Gordon recommended I join this respected group.
 
I have added an HW-101 to my small collection of radios - it represents  
the technology up to the 70's (have an FT-101E for the 70's). Aiming it get  
it working to spec.
