Jim, The set screws on my 5100 are indeed allen. All are 5/64 . Are you able to get an allen wrench to set securely in the screw?
However, because the knobs are made of aluminum there is a good chance that the iron set screws have set tight because of oxidation. A couple of drops of PB Blaster or maybe even WD40 may penetrate the oxode layer. Let it sit over night. 73 de KA4JVY Mark ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 5:02 PM Subject: [AMRadio] Need some assistance on a B&W 5100 ! > Can anyone help me?
