Jim,
Wait for all the mail to come in on this topic.
Pull the can tops off the transformers.
Dial the top slug all the way out of the transformer so you can work on
the bottom one.
A hex key is an acceptable way to work a tight slug loose.
Think about it and do not over force it.
The transformer slug can be adjusted from the
bottom through the chassis deck.
Pull your deck up and look into the bottom to see
if you get any clues.
Likely the wax has gotten hot in storage and bound
the slugs. A bit more force than expected will pop them loose.
Pull the covers and the deck and look first.
No reason to get surprised
The fellows will give you a list of solvents to try.
My list or solvents from the 1970's is not OSHA or group approved.
We don't do that any more.
Roger KC6TRU.

Hello to the group,
In aligning the fixed IF in my "massacre" rig, I have found that the bottom
slugs in the T501 and 502 coils are stuck.
Any advice as to how to unstick them without breaking them? I have
considered a hex wrench that fits the slug to overcome the whimpy plastic
wands I have.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Jim Temple
