True.
I wouldn't even think about sending it in, cause like you said that parts
are much easier to come by and that I could try looking for a scrap unit to
get one of them going instead of dealing with shipping charges.

I just wasn't sure on how to measure those inductors that have those slugs
cause there are 4 pins in a square formation at the bottom.

There's a Frost Fest this month at the Richmond Showplace in Henrico County,
VA and I'm gonna see what I can find.

Tnx.

I got it a flea market.

Ahh. Can you get them from Uniden? What is going to kill you is shipping.

Sean, I was just thinking you should try and get another scrap unit, and
try to
use both to get one working. The problem you are going to have is not the
cost
of components. It's the minimum order bull****, and handling charges. You
might
need $10 of components, and be nailed for $30. RFparts is one of those.

Are the inductors themselves missing or damaged, or are you simply
missing the core slugs?

If all you need are the slugs, you should be able to get replacements
from any junk parts bin radio. The permeability of the slugs are not
that critical in this case, so they should work.
