Very small tools...

Post by RAK402 »

I don't know if this is the correct section of the forum for posting this questions-please excuse me if it is incorrect.

I just rebuilt the reproducer on the Silvertone portable (first time I have attempted this).

Where does one obtain very tiny wrenches for tightening up the very small stop nuts on the stylus bar springs?

Thank you all in advance.

You may want to check APSCO. IIRC I bought a wrench for the adjusting nuts for an exhibition (many years back). it was just stamped out of piece of thin aluminum.

Check online watch repair and hobby supply vendors.

You could make your own from aluminum bar stock, some files, and of course, some time.
