Chris The bristo set screws are used on most Collins radio gear that I have come across, the ART13 uses them from WW2 , their advantage is that they have an increased surface area when compared with an Allen Screw, and consequently can be tightened to a higher tension , changing them all at your radio site to standardize , would eventually create great confusion once the radio passed on to a new owner which they all eventually will, it would also take away from its value for the purist collector , in my view it would be an act of sacrilege even an act of apostasy? regards Bernie Vk2abn
