[Hammarlund] K26402-1 transformer needed

[K3PID]

Greetings! I have been trying to adjust the T5 IF transformer in my HQ-145
( the others too) but the top slug is frozen in place. Thanks to the many
tips from this list, I've tried the gentle warming to soften any bees wax
that they might have used and I've tried just plain force but to no
avail.... I am ready to kick it up a notch but before I do I want to have a
replacement on hand. Now Charlie (N9SOR) at the Hammarlund.org web site
shows an inventory list that I believe includes the needed transformer but I
have been unable to raise a response from Charlie via email.   I would
greatly appreciate it if someone on the lists:

a. Knows Charlie and could have him respond to my request(s) or just plain
send me a note.
b. Has a transformer that they are willing to part with. Send me a note with
your terms.
c. Has a junker HQ-145 that they want to get rid of, send me a note with
your terms...

73 & Happy Holidays...( OK, it's a little early but his would be a great
gift for my stocking)
