I am restoring an old Kris 23+ tube-type CB radio. As with most Japanese-made CB gear from that era, the coil slugs are held in place with some sort of glossy white paint-like sealer. How do I dissolve that sealer without damaging the coil forms? I'm unable to budge the slugs with a diddle stick, and I don't want to risk fracturing a slug by trying to force them. 73, Dean K5DH I've always had good luck by heating the slug with a soldering iron tip, set on low heat. The "gliptall" will usually melt before the coil form does, but be careful just the same. Dave "Sandbagger" |
