While winding the cores on my KPA100, I pulled too hard on the wire
and broke one in the low pass filters. I ordered a replacement from
Elecraft. I continued assembly as far as I could. After staring
sadly at the three core pieces, I thought of super-gluing the core
back together. My thought was to replace the repaired core with the
replacement part when I receive it. I fixed the broken core and
finished assembly. Gluing it back together was easy, but getting my
fingers appart was a trick. I think these things are just metal
filings glued together anyway. Is there any reason that the repaired
core would have to be replaced?
In my opinion, a super-glued core is just fine. I've done it with no
ill effects (although not in my K2). You are right that they are made
of metal particles glued together (and insulated from each other). I
will be interested to hear what others say.
