I have just about finished restoring and re-calibrating a 47 year old HQ-145. I
have only one issue left.

The input stage for the first rf amplifier uses slug tuned inductances. The slug
adjustments proceeded normally for the BC, 160-80, and 40 meter bands. The slug
for the 20 through 10 meter band is "STUCK".

The inductance is packaged in a typical i.f. can with top and bottom openings.
Does anyone have any 'hints and kinks' for unsticking the slug? BTW, the radio
is operating on 20 meters and responds moderately well to a signal generator on
10 meters. I would just like to peak the response.

Ideas??
