[GreenKeys] Ongoing Model 15 Issues

[John, W9DDD]

Sorry can't help you there.  I tried standing on my head and couldn't 
see what the head was other than it wasn't a hex.  So I had to assume 
slotted, since Teletype didn't seem to use and other choices other than 
an occasional Allen set screw.

I'd hate to think you had to remove the basket, tweak then re-install to 
check.  One of the smarter guys here should have the answer.

Are you even able to check the clearance of 5 mils? Doesn't look like 
you can get a standard feeler gauge in there.
