Suggestions on repairing Heathkit 2.305 MHz IF transformers

[Taylor Jim-CJT001]

Glen, and the list.

If the cores are already cracked, and presumably not reparable/usable
once removed, is there a source that has a wide range of core
replacement material ? Such as Mouser etc. ?

Regards,

IF transformers

The cores are probably already cracked.  That is why they won't turn.
Use a large needle, dental tool, etc., and carefully chip away the core.
If you look down into the coil using a flashlight you will almost
certainly see where the core is cracked.

The top cores in two of the IF cans on one HW-22 are frozen. The bottom
ones turns freely.  I was thinking of perhaps using some tuner spray or
perhaps some light silicon grease.  Forcing the cores to turn will crack
them;
