Thanks Simon. I have to say I am now very tempted to have a go at peaking the damaged core. It is a but stuck due to the shellac based lacquer I used to stabilise the coil but I imagine that warming with a hair dryer would free it.

FM has always sounded sibilant so maybe it could do with a proper alignment. I have a Philips PM6455 FM signal generator that I bought on a whim and have never used.
