From my experience with radios, TS-520, etc, please don't proceed till you have the right tool. ? Likely one of the other members here can give you an exact size/part number, but you are looking for plastic alignment tools. ?They are made with flathead, hex, and other patterns, and available quite cheaply. ?Those cores are quite fragile, and the tool that makes full contact with all surfaces of the slug is critical to avoid cracking. ?Original replacements for the slug or whole inductor are made of unobtainium for nearly all tuned inductors, leaving you to try to re-engineer the circuit to use a modern part that is hopefully "close enough". ? Sorry I don't have the sizes/part numbers myself, but either the manual or someone else here should.

Hi Tom.
Of cause - no I don't have the correct tool.
It seemed to me like a hexagonal insert. I have some hex screwdrivers,
but since the 16kV are not far away, I would like to use a
non-conductive material. Also, the metal of the screwdriver may
influence the inductor to be adjusted.
What kind of is the "correct tool"? Made of plastic? It should be six
inches long, so it can reach down to the inductor when the scope is opened.
Best regards, Simon
