[Boatanchors] HC6/U tool?

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi,

Maybe the most difficult operation probably is removing the xtals. There 
is a U-shaped tool that is used for pulling ICs from IC sockets.There is 
a very small, flat "hook" at the end of each leg of the U-shaped tool. 
Putting the xtals into the sockets should be a lot easier unaided. Taht 
tool might be all you need. I have only one and I use it or I would drop 
it in the mail for you.

73,
