Thanks to all that responded with suggestions on fixing the broken ferrite 
rod on my SW-717,  the consensus was to use super glue, which I thought of 
at first.  Not getting any reasons to use some sort of particle bearing 
cement, ferrite dust or whatever, to retain any magnetic coupling, I tired 
super glue.  Problem is the ferrite material acts like a sponge for the 
super glue, would not properly bond.  So.....I used 3M -4475-, plastic 
adhesive, then used a small sleeve of heat shrink around the whole area and
it set up pretty darn good!

Thanks again for suggestions on this, got'r going.  Radio plays good.
