[R-390] Broken Slug Spring

[Flowertime01 at wmconnect.com]

Oh, joy...swapping out that RF can the 2nd time, when I pulled the slug rack
straight up after unhooking the springs, the slug body stayed in the coil
but the little coil spring came up with the rack.  I'm guessing at some
point it was bent right there and straightened which caused a fatigued spot.
It's right at the end of the core it broke, with maybe 1/4 turn sticking out
of the core.  I'm open to sidea/suggestions on how to fix this, or should I
just look for a replacement slug?

With good acid solder the spring stuff can be soldered.
Good for fixes at the top end.

Some good 5 minute epoxy will also make a good bond.
Good for fixes at the slug end.

Long term find a good used core.

Worry not if the exact length changes in the process, unless it gets very 
much to short or to long.
