Recently acquired a Heathkit SW-717, nice little radio.  However some dummy 
packed it in box so that the ferrite rod antenna mounted on the back got 
broken.   Does anyone know of a good "cement" to repair such?  Seems to work 
OK on the AM bcst band after some cleaning up and lubricating here and 
there, so wire is not broken.  Is only used on Bcst, but would like to fix 
it back up.  Any suggestions?  Ferrite cement I have not seen that can 
remember.
