Emanuele,

The last project, wow. ?I still have about 9 Hallicrafters on the shelf waiting for the dust to be blown off.
One is a SX-99 so I may have to also make a tuning tool. ?I’ve had to make a couple for some other radios I’ve restored. ?Think about using one of your existing tuning tools, cutting off the existing end and reshaping for the needed slugs. ?Be sure to use one which will go into the IF can and which is not needed. ?This has worked for me and eliminates the need to find the correct diameter wood or plastic. ?Also if the slug won’t turn apply a small amount of heat from a low heat gun or SMD desoldering heat gun to loosen any old hard wax inside.
?
Good luck and be sure to let us know how it goes and also the final dimensions of the tip.
