@visi.com: try alcohol first for solvent, it should not mangle coil forms. if that doesn't work, a paintbrush with a little bit of acetone is the next step for solvent. What I did for those stubborn slugs was to heat them with the tip of my weller. The heat will soften the paint/sealant and not damage the coil form. r Irv Finkleman wrote: K5DH wrote: I am restoring an old Kris 23+ tube-type CB radio.

It was far simpler to kick it in just the right spot. Happy trails, Gary (net.yogi.bear) ------------------------------------------------ at the 51st percentile of ursine intelligence Gary D.
