COMPLETE What is an example of a Hallicrafters knob requiring such wrenches? I don't recall any problems using ordinary American gauge Allen wrenches. Not that I have worked on that many Hallicrafters . . . but your post makes me curious. Regards, Phil |

Regards, Phil The setscrew which holds the gear on the TV tuner like turret on my TW-1000 is 4 point Bristol. My SX-99 uses the same size on the small metal knobs on the front panel. It uses larger 6 point Bristol setscrews on the antenna trimmer coupler and the dial holddowns. I don't know if they used standard hex setscrews on other runs. Wouldn't surprise me if they did.

Regards, Phil My Hallicrafters SX-101A used those spline setscrews. Hard to find the wrenches? Not in 1963. Might be hard now. de ah6gi/4 -- |
