[Collins] Brisol Flute Question

Sun, 6 Oct 2002 00:10:58 -0700

I am sooooooooooooo confused!  Sorry, but I am.  First, thanks to Mssrs.
Jim and Mike for your responses to "[Collins] 75A-4  dial pulleys and
Bristol wrench question".

Here is why my head is spinning:

The Xcelite 99PS-60 set (Allied PN 984-0412) is described as "Nine flute
Bristol spline blades....."

McMaster Carr (page 2640 on line catalog) shows only 4 or 6 flute sets.

Max Gain (http://www.mgs4u.com/bristol.htm) shows only 4 or 6 flute
drivers.

What is the correct number of flutes to order for 75A4, 51J4, and KWS-1
knob and set screw removal?

Thanks,
Chris

Xcelite has a nice set of wrenches.  Jensen, Allied, or Mouser should
have
them.
Also, Hemostats are helpful as a "third hand" when restringing dial
cords.
