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. Icon_redface Icon_eek Can anyone direct me toward a good place to find a replacement 2nd IF trans. (262KHz)?

Thanks,
Ron

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
