Thought I would ask for some ideas on the removal of the bad 1st IF transformer. Unlike other coils the IFs are not held in place in the can with a simple metal tab on the coil screwed to the chassis. The insides are locked in the can with a "C" clip that appears to be also sheathed in a cotton type covering. Actually looks like a piece of chassis wiring, but it is not. I see no way to reach in there and pop that clip out of the groove that it sets in. Anyone out there do this successfully? If so technique used please?
Thanks Jerry

Edit: got it out and repaired it!
