Jerry:
1/16" allen wrench is too large for the screw. Metric 1.3mm, or
American .050" will do the trick, however, be sure you get a good
quality allen wrench. The cheap import stuff, such as Harbor
Freight, etc., will sometimes round off the corners of the wrench and
spin inside the set screw. Don't ask me how I know this... hi...

Folks,
I am trying to remove the main tuning knob from the Corsair II.
Someone told me the set screw took a 1/16 inch hex wrench (AKA allen).
However, I have been unable to get the 1/16 inch Allen wrench to fit into
the set screw. Were there any other set screws used? Is there a trick to
getting the knob off (you know, stand on your head with your tongue hanging
out the left side of your mouth while whistling Dixie)? Dunno, I am about
to say bad things..
