[TowerTalk] Hy-Gain Balums or Coaxial Coil?

[KC4HW]

I have been renovating a set of Hy-Gain monobanders.  These had the Hy-Gain balum with 
them.  

I have opened one of the balums and beside a little oxidation at the SO239 they appears to 
be in pretty good condition.  I notice that there appeared to be a rubber o ring at both ends 
of the ferrite material that has sort of gone away.  I don't know if that is a big deal..

Anyway, what to do... use the balums or coil coax, anybody got any suggestions?

Thanks
