While I hate to utter these words, you might find a
set at a well-equipped RadioShack store.
There are several common sizes of hex tuning tools.
One such official one has two hex sizes at one end and
a flat blade piece of metal at the other end that will
fit the slot in the power control pot.
0.075, 0.093, 0.125 inch are common sizes.
I have a brand new one that measures 0.072 and 0.098,
and a 30 year old one that measures 0.075 and 0.098,
which leads me to believe the tolerances are +/- .003
or so. I have a broken one that came with an MSF5000
tuning tool kit (it's missing the 0.075 hex part)
Anyway, the Motorola part number is 66D84387C01 and it
came from a SpectraTAC receiver tuning kit. I'm sure
there are others with different part numbers that have
the same tips. They were often included in tuning tool
kits shipped with radios.
I bet if you went to your local Motorola Radio Service
Shop, they'd give you one.
