I'm thinking a bead (say, 1/2") threaded on a rod (brass for both bead and
rod?), positioned so that the bead can be lifted just slightly, then slid
along the coil - but when you release the bead, there's a bit of tension
pressing it against the coil. I thought about the gator clip method, but
I'm
thinking it might be easier to fool with if I had something I could adjust
without taking my focus off the radio.

Then again, alligator clips and leads are a more widely available than the
pseudo roller inductor parts rattling around in my head...

I'll suggest you try the alligator clip and wire first. It will be alot
easier to do any modifications. Also, you might find the whole experiment
isn't particularly helpful in your situation. If so, you might as well find
out right away.
