[R-390] Looking For Suggestions - Stuck Slug

[ronald j deeter]

I had good luck using super glue gel and a small stick, glue the stick to
the centre of the slug, wait till hard, then slowly remove the core, i
had founf replacement cores in other scrap equipment-- Old tv's and junk
radios, of course size and weight are of importance.
if it isn't cracked just stuck- try heat the outside and cold freeze the
core -sometimes it works.
re-lubricants-preferably not, be sure the core is not cracked, however i
have used a real light oil (Kano), then cleaned with alchol, relube
lightly with bees wax
