[Elecraft] K2 slug-tuned inductors

[Don Wilhelm]

Chuck and all,

Those particular inductor cores with the narrow slot are difficult to 
break, and they seldom stick.

Since I adjust them during repairs, I would wear out many tuning tools 
in short time.  I bought a ceramic screwdriver with a 1/8 inch wide 
blade.  I have another with a 5/32 inch wide blade that I use for 
adjusting those new trimmer capacitors in plastic cases.
