And the ARRL perpetuates this scam with using Amidon part # in all their
publications.
I still have hundreds of Fair-Rite ferrites and Micrometals powered iron
left over from my Radiokit days and have been selling them off slowly as the
spirit moves me.
No 31 toroids or 73 balun cores.

The Mouser part picture does not look like a FT-240-31.
The FT-series of part numbers are PHONY part numbers, dreamed up many
years ago by vendors who have sold them to hams for very high prices. The
ACTUAL part number for a #31 2.4-in o.d. toroid, as defined by Fair-Rite,
the company that MAKES these parts, is 2631803802. You will find that
part number in Appendix One of my tutorial. Kits and Parts is one of
those high price vendors. Amidon may have been the originator of this
scam. Palomar and DXE are in that league as well. They created these phony
baloney numbers so that you wouldn't find the part from a real industrial
vendor at one third the price.

The referenced part
number looks like it fits over a cable.

Hmm, $3 each more than Mouser who also is a very fast shipper, usually
same
