RadioBanter - Tuning slugs

Ahh, thanks David. Good link, especially the part about the antique
mall. I have one such mall here in town. I see a few old table radios
there every time I stop by. I will look for one with a broken case.
Hmmm, come to think, I just remember that I have an old wooden
silvertone radio/record player - sans the record player. Maybe I will
open her up tonight.

I have a HAMMARLUND HX-FIFTY transmitter that I recently went through.
New transformer, recap, align... It works very nice, but I broke the
tuning slug for one of the 40m coupling transformers. I replaced it
with one of the 20m slugs and it aligned ok. I am looking for a slug
now to replace the broken one.

So where do I get one? It is about 1/4" diameter and the standard hex
head. I wonder if they are still being produced today. I am not even
very sure what it is made out of. Maybe powder iron or ferrite???? I
prefer not to scrap a radio for just one slug. Somebody told me to go
to hamfest, but I don't go to those often.
