[Hallicrafters] Spline Key for S-85

Halli-Devotees,

I need to replace the dial cord in my trusty S-85 and have to take all 
the knobs off first.  I knew that I would need spline wrenches and 
ordered "SPLINE KEY KIT," part no. SS-508 from Max-Gain Systems
(www.mgs4u.com).

The ad copy from something I read perhaps in another place sounded like 
the SS-508 covered both Collins and Hallicrafters equipment.  Wrong. 
There is no wrench in the 9-piece wrench kit which will fit the screws 
in the S-85 knobs.

Can someone tell me what size wrench I need?

The SS-508 is composed of:

9 short arm keys: S-033-4, S-048-4, S-048-6, S-060-6, S-069-4, S-072-6, 
S-076-4, S-096-6, and S-111-6

But none of them do the trick.  Any suggestions?

73,

Ron - K5MVR
