[Elecraft] alignment tool

Tue Apr 20 16:17:01 2004

Hi

I have done this with the wooden Q-tips that are about 8 inches long. =
Just shape the opposite end from the cotton swab into a screwdriver =
blade. If you dip it into clear fingernail polish and let it dry it will =
strengthen the tip. Works fairly well. The best tool is the Trimpot tool =
made by Spectrol. This is a plastic tool with a tiny metal insert in the =
end for the screwdriver blade. You can buy them from Mouser for about a =
dollar.
