[Hallicrafters] SX-101A Front Panel Toggle Switch Removal

[JOHN M IVERSON]

HI, There were two "KNURL NUT WRENCHES" listed in the full catalogue.
1/2" in. nut p/n 9358 and a 5/8" dia  p/n 9359  [n.s.n. 5120-00-88-4009]
I ordered the latter
from a GC dealer a few years ago. it seemed to work ok.
I do not know if GC is still around but at that time they had a
1-800-435-2931 as the customer service no.
The full name is GC Thorsen Co. Rockford IL.61102.  corp. fone no was 
1-800-435-3931.
hope this can help.
Jack
