[Hammarlund] Clip trick?

[Al Parker]

Hi Phil,
    I use a pair of curved hemostats, works pretty easy for me.  Helps to
push it a little sometimes, with a finger, going back in.  Haven't lost
one on the floor yet (hope that's not a jinx).
    BTW, a local friend with an SP-600 has lost a few of his clips some
yrs past, and is hoping to find some, if anyone has some available.
