Default Tuning slugs

Bob,
Antique Electronic Supply (http://www.tubesandmore.com/)used to carry
these in a package with several different kinds. I don't know if they
still have them.
I assume you are looking for the type with a hex hole through the slug.
What length?
I may be able to help you.
73,
Chuck

I have a HAMMARLUND HX-FIFTY transmitter that I recently went through.
New transformer, recap, align... It works very nice, but I broke the
tuning slug for one of the 40m coupling transformers. I replaced it
with one of the 20m slugs and it aligned ok. I am looking for a slug
now to replace the broken one.

So where do I get one? It is about 1/4" diameter and the standard hex
head. I wonder if they are still being produced today. I am not even
very sure what it is made out of. Maybe powder iron or ferrite???? I
prefer not to scrap a radio for just one slug. Somebody told me to go
to hamfest, but I don't go to those often.

regards,
Bob
