[R-390] PTO endpoints

[Jim M.]

I just repaired a end point adj coil with similar broken screw slot. 
Opeen the PTO and remove the coil (help to the front by two screws). 
Use a Dremmel with the smallest cutoff disc available to cut a new
"slot" in the end of the tuning shaft, then clip off the remaining old
burr.  At the same time you can remove a turn if you need to.  Chances
are someone tried to crank the coil all the way in, but couldn't get
enough adjustment range, and broke the screwdriver slot.  Jim N4BE
