Wow ! Somebody knew about this slug deterioration in 1968. Some must have deteriorated relatively rapidly to have figured that out. Its almost as they were thinking of the slugs as a limited life part, a concept I have never thought of or heard of before.
I have a vintage 1939 Meissner TV set, with some of the earliest known dust cores (Meissner helped pioneer the development of them) when most other MFR's at the time for TV's used air core coils in the USA. I'll have to be on the lookout for any possible issues related to the cores.
