<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>To all HW-101 owners. Perhaps we can compare
notes..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I built a 101 when I was in high school in 1974.
I got a manual in advance to see </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>if I would be able to 'handle' it. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Everything went well, I used the rig for a few
years and sold it around 1979 for</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>a TS520</FONT><FONT color=#000000 size=2>. I
then </FONT><FONT color=#000000 size=2>gave the spare manual away to someone in
Pennsylvania after he posted a Packet requ</FONT><FONT color=#000000 size=2>est
(no internet then.....also, no $30.00 manuals!!!)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Well, now 20 years later I got another
HW101!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>First.... ANYONE GOT A MANUAL?????</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Second... If you look at yours'....on the audio
board, towards the right rear of the chassis.. right in front of the two big
resistors.. My old 101 used to have a PEC,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>(packaged electronic circuit) standing up
vertically.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>This one has a little circuit board with the
individual components.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Third... How can I date this one? It came with a
PS23 power supply, and not a HP23A,B,C etc. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>If I recall, my old one had all IEC (Mullard)
tubes in it. This one has a few </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>PRO COM (Japan) tubes in it. There is an
oscillation that howels and registers on the s meter when there is no signal or
antenna disconnected. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I replace the PRO COM 6BN8 AVC tube with an IEC,
and the whistling stopped.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I wonder whats going on there??</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>My old 101 used to suffer from a wandering S
meter zero set. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>SO DOES THE NEW ONE!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Has anyone ever found the cause of this. It is
obviously a class problem.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>What other secrets have you found about the 101,
or questions you might have.</FONT></DIV>
