Very nice. The 'Hot Water'-101 was the radio that got me interested in becoming a ham when I was 12 years old. My friend's brother had one and it was sooo cool. Love the page you put together.

Good and thorough job. What a difference a good bath and new caps etc. make!

I also dreamed of owning an HW-101 in the 1970's, and I bought one around 1991-2 (remember packet radio bulletin board sale ads?) after finally becoming a ham. It worked pretty well then, but I have not had it on the air in years now. I look forward to reading your Web site and getting my '101 going again, Bill.

I have one of those. Any suggestions as to the best way to get it to someone who might appreciate it more than I do?
