[R-390] Mechanical Filter Issue

[N4BUQ at aol.com]

Mike,

As I recall, if they aren't interchangeable, it will be obvious that they are not.  What you can do is make sure the slugs are centered and inline with each transformer.  There are two phillips-head screws that hold each slug in the slug rack.  You can loosen these and allow the slug to center itself and then re-tighten them.  This can allow the slugs to move much more freely than if they are mis-aligned.
