Hi,

I've just called every Radio Shack in the greater Los Angeles area.
None of them carry Radio Shack part #64-2220: the plastic hex wrench set that can adjust the width coil on my K7400 board.

Can anyone loan me the set for a day.  If you're local, I'll pick up.  If you're not local, I'll pay for shipping to me and back.

Please let me know if you can help me out.

Thanks.

remote pot was already adjusted all the way.

The width coil is on the board itself.  Anyone out there loan me the Radio Shack plastic hex wrenches for a day?  No Radio Shack in my area carry them anymore.
Thanks

Be extremely careful and slow when adjusting the coil. I tried it on a non-working chassis. I applied very light pressure and split the ferrite core. It's really easy to break.

Don't forget to read this: Adjusting Width Coils

You can also use # 64-2230 which is the 3 piece set or # 64-2223 which is the 2 piece set.

Naturally if your local stores are out of stock you can order them thru radioshack.com

There are a few Marvac Electronics (www.marvac.com) in the LA area, they would definitely stock the much superior TV alignment tool sets made by GC Electronics/Waldom such as GC # 8454. I know there's a Marvac in Santa Barbera (I think it's on Hollister).

another trick for alignment tools is to attack plastic knitting needles with a file to make them whatever size you need (make sure they are plastic first)
