I haven't see a coil quite like that before. Try to salvage it. I'd try using some Elmer's glue or such to reinforce the paper core. Or fingernail polish stolen from the lady of the house. Prehaps you can use a partial paper shim to hold the slug where it's loose but ending before it gets too tight. If the slug won't stay put, maybe glue it to a tuning wand that you then permantly attach to the set from above or below the chassis or circuit board once adjusted (maybe thread the plastic rod and use a nut attached to the chassis or board)? Or maybe some wax paper cap wax melted into the coil to hold the slug once it's adjusted (but can be freed later if needed)?
