I am restoring an old Kris 23+ tube-type CB radio.
As with most Japanese-made CB gear from that era,
the coil slugs are held in place with some sort of
glossy white paint-like sealer. How do I dissolve
that sealer without damaging the coil forms? I'm
unable to budge the slugs with a diddle stick, and
I don't want to risk fracturing a slug by trying
to force them.

Gday Dean,
dont get too upset about the "screwdriver expert" jibe - we have to
rely on the printed word in front of us and take that at face value.
Its been a good subject, thank you for kicking it off, and there has
been lots of useful ideas to try, so just accept that. If we were face
to face or on air, it wouldnt be a problem but using this particular
medium misunderstandings and errors do occur.

And I am sure you will agree that as a working tech you MUST have seen
the results of inexpert slug twiddling - sort of like old British
motorbikes whose ten previous owners only had a 12" shifting spanner
as their major (or only) tool....
