I need the changes that need to be made inside the hw17 to accommodate the adapter. I think some wires need to be added on the Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:21:28 GMT Joel Wilson http://groups.yahoo.com/group/heathkit/message/13001 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/heathkit/message/13001 Got a bunch of the smaller xtals that don't fit my Twoer. Is there any way to adapt the smaller xtals to fit?
