[ICOM] Alignment Tools

[Jim Hargrave]

Eddy,

I have been successful in building my own alignment tool for the small
slotted cores. I use round toothpicks. They are made of hardwood and you can
cut the pointed end off and fashion a flat blade using a file. You can make
them to fit the slots exactly. They are non-magnetic and will not affect the
tuning.
