Heathkit sb101 Nylon Spiral Follower
 

Ref Nylon Spiral Follower pn 266-74


I have a heathkit SB101 and the upper dial doesn't move. It seems the
Nylon Spiral Follower is worn out or broken. Does anyone happen to have
one of these followers or have any success in fabricating a replacement?


Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

You might check with RTO Electronics. I have dealt with them in the past
for Heathkit transceiver repairs. Their website is located at this URL

There are also several other repair folks out there for Heathkit gear.

But then you can make one with about 10 minutes of effort using a drill
press or a lathe.

I once fabricated one using a brass keeper from an RC airplane linkage
kit. It's the part that secures the cable to a servo arm. You might
also subscribe to the yahoo heathkit newsgroup. There are lots of posts
in there. 73's Mike K8MB
