I have an old transistor radio and one of the IF transformers is in trouble (rusted). How do I get this component? I've searched several component dealers and couldn't.

Components for older radios are problematic, especially coils and IF transformers, as they are already more manufactured. The problem is complicated because for each type of radio the transformers and coils have their own specifications. The IF transformer used on a Model X radio is not for Model Y radio. Therefore, when problems occur with these components, when possible, try to recover it eventually by soldering the wires if it is a loose terminal. However, if this is not possible a possible solution, but quite difficult would be to find a radio of the same abandoned brand and remove the similar component that you want to exchange.
