Default HW-101 mods for 17 and 30 meters

Hello the Group!

I have an Heathkit HW-101 that operates well on 80/75/40/20 and is
useless on 15/10 meters because of all the higher frequency junk in
this area. The Area is Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti near the WAAM antenna group.

I want to sacrifice the 15 meter and one of the 10 meter positions
for the 30 and 17 meter bands. From what I can see on the diagrams and
the crystals being used, I think all I would need are crystals in the
proper cans at the frequencies 18.895 for the 30 mter range and 26.896
for the 17 meter range.

I realize that just changing out the crystals may not be all that is
needed, however, this is the first step. Any Heathkit resources out
there?
