[Central-Electronics] MM-2 & slicer together

Are any of you using the MM-2 and the slicer together?  How?

Now that I have the Sideband Slicer model B working nicely (*) I'm  
pondering getting it to work at the same time as the MM-2 scope.    
They both want to connect to the IF of the receiver.   I don't see  
anything anywhere about the best way to do that.   Does anyone know?

Also, I'm going to have to build the RM adapter for the MM-2 since I  
don't have one.   The only tricky part is the IF can.   Do any of you  
know anything about that transformer?

Thanks,

Jon, K6JEK

* Slicer final toll:  All paper caps were bad and replaced.   Three  
micas, including two in the PS-1 can were bad.   Many resistors were  
bad including one of the high precision resistors in the PS-1.    
Three other high precision resistors were a tad out of spec high but  
bridged nicely into spec.   A beautiful new can capacitor from  
Antique Electronic Supply replaced all the electrolytics and looks  
super and appropriate.   Rust, corrosion, mildew, grime and nicotine  
were beaten back with naval jelly, degreaser, Simple Green, metal  
polish, and water.   The air variable that had disassembled itself  
because the pressed fit gave way was pressed back together and is  
holding.  The other air variable was unfrozen.  Think about that.    
One got tight.  The other flew apart.  The power cord was replaced  
providing an opportunity to use my special Heyco pliers.  The tubes  
were good.  How about that?

Thanks to everyone on this board for advice, encouragement and
