Hi  All,
I have a panel mount control box made by M.J.Johnson Aircraft  
Engineering Co., a R-4002,that is basically a copy of an A.R.C. type 12  
box.I've been useing it for a few weeks now with no problems.Suddenly  
the dial mechanism has bound up,not completely but tight.In order to  
dismantle I need to remove the knobs.The knobs look like A.R.C. knobs  
but the set screws are not spline (Bristo) type.Rather they look like  
they need a cross point (+) (Phillpips) screw driver.But not a pointed  
one.
What would this be called and where do I get a  set


I know of "Reed-Prinz" and "Posidrive" crosspoints, which have different  
tapers from Philips, but are still pointed (used mostly in automotive  
applications).  I havent seen a "flat crosspoint" before.  Maybe they  are available in 
a "security bit" set like MCM Electronics sells?
