I'd NOT use super-glue, sheesh!! It amazes me how people think this
stuff is a cure-all. It gets brittle, outgasses, and I'd not let it
anywhere near any beautiful Elecraft product! I'd use J-B Weld, which
is a very strong epoxy glue and should make the core good as new. 2nd
choice is just regular old 2-part epoxy glue. 73 de Alex NS6Y

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?
