I just received in the mail a replacement inductor (L2) from a fellow board member (THANKS phreakout). Will be installing it this weekend. Thanks for all the bard member input on my issue. Will post a pic of the final results.

UPDATE - Another board member has offered to send me the part (L2) from a salvage Mac SE. Will update again as things progress.

@Dennis - you were close - the correct schematic is a few links down from that one on the same web page : http://web.archive.org/web/20040116004022/http://home.t-online.de/home/andreas.kann/SE_Analogb2.GIF L2 is close to the center.

OK, so tonight I went ahead and cut away the outer plastic tube around the ferrite core and the core just basically crumbled. So the inductor has no core at all. @Dennis - Once the crumbled ferrite core was removed I inserted a regular iron screw and powered it up - the display is still "too...

@techknight - I'm not sure I follow you. I understand about cannibalizing a variable inductor from another device (I already thought of that, but feel like I need to get a variable inductor with the SAME EXACT specs). Can you explain this for me? : "You can also attempt to remove the coil...

Dennis - Thanks for the input. I'll check into that. Here are a few pics I took of it. The internal core is hollow and chipped off on the end. As I stated, I tried using a non-conductive hex tool to rotate it, but it won't budge. Also tried a squirt of De-Oxit FaderLube - no dice. The screen...

I have a Mac SE FDHD that has the screen a bit too wide. I opened it to adjust things and see the variable inductor (L2) is a bit messed up. The hollow core (that a non-conductive hex tool goes inside) has been chipped on the ends and I cannot rotate it to adjust it. I would replace the variable...
