Default Questions about I.F. Transformers

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.


It'll tune to 465Khz no problem.
But if not, use an aluminium slug instead of the ferrite one. This will
have the opposite effect to the original one. ie - more aluminium
inside the transformer = Higher operating frequency
