Default Questions about I.F. Transformers

Jody wrote:
I can't seem to find any I.F. transformers for 465 KHZ. I was wondering
if you can use the 455 khz ones instead without changing any other
components. I'm building a reciever that calls for 465. Can a 455 be
tuned this high using the slug? or does anyone know of a source for
these parts. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Most of these IF xformers have a fixed capacitor on the bottom of the
device. You can remove it, measure it's value, and place a capacitor of
a slightly lower value in its place.
