Mike -

I have had a lot of those to deal with. I use a small/micro butane torch.
Just insert the wrench into the screw and then heat it fir a second and it
loosens right up and there is no damage at all. Quick & easy. Check
something like eBay 151593853385 .  73 - Mike

Good Morning,

I have box of Command Set variable capacitors and finally got a set of
Bristol Spline wrenches to work on them.

What solvent can I use to on that red lacquer so that I can loosen the set
screws?
