Me either....at the time....but the PDF complete manual I have here for the HW-101 
specifically calls for that large temperature compensating disk-ceramic cap which has the 
polystyrene cap soldered across it, and which are mounted right next to the coil to be glued 
to the side wall nearest it.

And there is some "cement" called out in the parts list.

The size and weight of that big disk would definitely contribute to VFO instability when the 
HW-101 was used mobile, but would never be a problem in a fixed-station use.

If you would like, I'll break out those pages of the manual  which I have here which deal with 
that and send you copies by e-mail.

Let me know.
