What is an example of a Hallicrafters knob requiring such wrenches? I
don't
recall any problems using ordinary American gauge Allen wrenches. Not that
I
have worked on that many Hallicrafters . . . but your post makes me
curious.

Regards,

The setscrew which holds the gear on the TV tuner like turret on my TW-1000
is 4 point Bristol. My SX-99 uses the same size on the small metal knobs on
the front panel. It uses larger 6 point Bristol setscrews on the antenna
trimmer coupler and the dial holddowns. I don't know if they used standard
hex setscrews on other runs. Wouldn't surprise me if they did.
