[Boatanchors] Removing switch with knurled nut

[Ted W2TAG]

I don't think anybody has pointed to Stewart-MacDonald (Everything for
building and repairing stringed instruments). They have several wrenches
available. This one is for installing/removing knurled mounting nuts on
Gibson-style selector switches:

There's another wrench that looks like the old alligator wrenches from
years ago:

They also have other electronic and hardware us old hams may find useful
in repairing boatanchors.

I've bought other stuff from these guys and they seem okay to me.

I found them at TESSCO (www.tessco.com) and ordered
one of each size.  I expect them to be delivered today.
 
They were a bit more costly, but available!
