[R-390] Adjusting Z702 Tools for R-390 PTO'S

[eldim at att.net]

Hello All,
I'll have to dig into and check all my alignment tools to see if I still have a tool that fits this description. I vaguely remember a tool approximately  5-6 inches long that was made of dark brown fiber with a small metal slotted slit.  Since I have not worked on a 390 in detail for over forty years, and don't recall  if I ever did any PTO re-work,  I'm wondering if there is a list of "Required Tools" for FIELD or DEPOT rework listed in any of the service manuals for the R-389, R-390, R-390A, and R-391.  Better yet, is there a picture of this tool, Part Number, Stock Number available? Perhaps, one of the group members has fabricated a similiar tool that passes the test.  Personally, I think that inserting any metallic object into the innerds of the PTO may possibly upset the reactance of the circuit.
