got a RCA table top

[DaveWM]

hmmm while waiting for a part on the CTC 16 I took a look under the chassis of this one. there was a can coil just hanging on by its leads. Looks recent. there was anohter can still mounted with no leads attached, looks the same, that was mounted on the side of the chassis with access to a tuning slug.

the replacent can had a tuning screw that stuck out about 3/4 inch, my guess is it would prevent the chassis from sliding back in the cabient (the oher had a slotted slug that did not stick out). So rather than deal with the issue they prior repair was to just let it hang, geez.

I went ahead and took the old unused can out and mounted the replacement (wires still attached) where it belongs. If I get it running I will deal with how to make it fit back in the cabinet. At least I will not worry about the dangling part shorting somewhere. Just for grins I check the continuity of the old part, seem like it was ok.
