In the process of restoring two of these I picked up this month.
My #1 restoration unit is going well. I found a few bad tubes and
thought I'd try it out. By golly it worked! Not well but a good start.
That was the dirtiest one of the two!

Now working on the cosmetics and noticed a missing slug on the antenna
coil. (S9 is the number) Those are rather large about 1/4" diameter.
Looked through three boxes of inductors and found nothing this size.

Would a member happen to have a slug for sale would appreciate.

This unit is a nostalgia trip for me as the S40B was the first short wave
radio I remember as a teen. Didn't  belong to me but my friend. Always looked forward to getting together as it was an opportunity to listed to BBC ,VOA and many of the famous stations in the 50's.
