Broke T50-10 toroid !!

[Rich McCabe]

Guess I was pulling too hard winding toroids and broke one of the low pass
T-50s. I was planning on finishing the 100 watt unit tomorrow and will go
ahead and finish assembly and as much alignment as I can.

Any comments on putting this thing online until the new part comes?  Seems
logical the way the lowpass is laid out, I should be able to run all bands
but the one that is missing the low pass filter?? Any comments.

73,
Rich

Hi

I don't know it it will work or not but I have heard of superglueing them back together and they work fine. Worth a try until you get a replacement

Have used 2 part epoxy glue in the past to successfully glue broken  ferrite
cores back together such as the type used in TV line O/P transformers.  The
secret seemed to be to have a minimum gap as possible remaining between the  
parts, so a small amount of glue was essential. Superglue was not available at  
the time, but assuming it will stick the parts together should work as  
required with the minute amount that needs to be used minimising the gap  between the
parts.
