I resent them words, please let my Radioshack die in peace, hi hi, just
kidding. Actually Radioshack quit carrying the tuning tools quite some
time ago, all they have is the tuning rods with the flat metal in
them. I had to get mine from a parts shop about 30 miles from
here. It's only a matter of time and Radioshack will no longer caryy
parts. If we carry anything at all.

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.
