Hi All

Thanks to those who responded on my query on checking permeability of 'recycled'
ferrites.  (Or was that the TC list?)

I have a number of 'dead' SMPSs, some of them with pretty meaty ferrite
transformers in them.  I would dearly love to take them apart to re-use the
bobbins and cores, but attempts so far have normally resulted in a pile of
shattered ferrite.

What DO they use to glue them together, and can I dissolve it with anything
without trashing the plastic of the bobbin?

Cheers

M
