Hi HamishBoxer,

Yes, Peter Holtham's book ... I have searched a few sites for his book, but it seems 'unobtainium' so far.

There is a lot of info on web, some relevant to me, some not. Still trawling through web pages and trying to formulate a plan.

A question for those who have been down this path already ... the adjusting slugs, eg in IF cans, other tuning slugs etc, have been sealed in position with a lacquer of some description. I have run into shattered slugs previously and want to be forewarned with these ... what have people used to soften/remove the lacquer without damage to Formers etc.

Ditto ... any advice re tuning trimmer caps which have been sealed with red and orange paint(?).

Thanks, Ian
