You are correct Bob, according to the SCR-221 technical manual
(TM-11-300) there should be two Bristol wrenches (#6 & #8) in the spares kit. I have just tried the one I have on an old wreck of a BC221-T and it fits but don't know whether it is a #6 or a #8. It is just under a 1/10" across the flutes. I believe that during WWII there was a specially employed lady, complete with tattoos presumably, whose task it was to tighten the set-screws on all military equipment. She did such a good job that nobody except a certain candidate for the governorship of California has since been able to move them. I have seen the wrenches on e-bay from time to time. To remove the screws after ordering a bowflex machine and working out with it for 6 months, heat them and the "glue" will release and you will be able to turn them. |
