All the ones I have seen are points up and down--diamond style. This
provides both lateral and vertical support for the rod.

Thanks, Curt, Garey and Gary for all your help so far!

Hi Steve:
I'm not sure it doesn't matter if the end pc is flush or not but keep
it perpendicular to the core axis. You may just have found the
culprit there. I like Ambroid cement but nearly anything will work
as an adhesive there. A small amount of 5 min epoxy or even some
carpenters glue.

I thought it would be something of that nature.
I have taken the PTO apart enough to slide the coil form off the
slug and at least initially I don't see any cracks or loose
segments. However, the diamond-shaped washer at the end of the coil
came out easily as if it wasn't glued at all. It was flush with the
end of the form, but I see that it could be recessed in the brown
sleeve so that it is against the white coil form.
Does the washer/spacer need to be flush, or bedded down against the
form?
I'm going to supper shortly, so won't get to look at the slug under
my microscope until the table is cleared Winking smile emoticon
I have pics if needed. I'm going to clean the whole thing with IPA.

Steve,
The T-4X puts a –30 volts on the INJ line when the XMTR position
is selected. That –30 shuts down the R-4A’s premixer V8. In RCVR
position the –30 volts is removed, the T-4X’s PTO output is
deselected, and the R-4A’s injection is then free to be boss.
73, Gary
