Gentlemen,
I have really put my foot in it this time. I started investigating this problem again and noticed the second IF transformer would crack and pop as I tapped on it. Volume would rise and drop as well. I had hoped I wouldn't have to but I decided to perform the same delicate surgery on it as I had the first IF trans. Everything was going well until I attempted to turn the slugs. You guessed it. One of them was really stuck. I tried heat, light oil, and nothing worked. Finally it broke tearing out a nice section of the coil form with it.
Can anyone direct me toward a good place to find a replacement 2nd IF trans. (262KHz)?
Thanks,
Ron
