I just ordered a new diddle stick the other day and it should be arriving today so I should be able to work on the radio with it.
like I said this is one of those Zenith IF Cans that has the Primary on the bottom and the secondary on top and the only way to adjust it is to go in all the way with the right diddle stick (the hexagon type) and adjust the primary and then pull it out and go in partially and adjust the secondary, also my hand isn't steady enough for me to try and use superglue to try and pull the broken diddle stick out with, I would just end up getting glue all over the core and end up gluing the core shut so it couldn't be adjusted ever again, and that's not my goal here.
And yes, the one I am trying to extract is like one of those red ones pictured in morzh'z post, but mine was clear rather than red.
