[Heath] HW-10 Shawnee Rebuild Update

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi,

Has anybody asked you what you used to make your measurements? Modern 
meters - DMMs - present almost no load at all to the circuit under test. 
The readings listed in manuals for old gear were probably obtained with 
old style V-O-Ms. Resistance readings shouldn't vary much but voltage 
readings in energized gear certainly will. Add that difference to the 
normal variations of tubes, caps and resistors with all of the 
accumulated tolerances.

Good luck with your project. You can always learn from projects like 
this andafter al the work you will have a working radio:)

73,

Bill  KU8H
