I adjusted my 1250A using a 1/8" brass rod that I got from the hardware
store. I filed down the end to make it into a screwdriver. This worked
fine. I could tell when the tip was engaged with the screw in the
oscillator by feeling it fall into place and then I could make the
adjustment. The brass didn't have any effect on the frequency. When I
removed the tool the frequency didn't change. A metallic tool is needed
since the adjustment screw needs some torque to make it turn.

Subject: [time-nuts] Austron 1250A Tuning tool
Hello
My 1250A has drifted outside the range of the front panel control, so the
coarse adjust needs some fiddling. The manual makes mention of a special
tool to be used for this. I don't have the tool, the closest I can get is a
10" bamboo stick that I cunningly liberated from my wifes sushimaking mat!
I wondered if anyone else on the list has this tool, and can send me a
description/photo of the tip? I tried widdling the tip of my stick to
various shapes, but not knowing what it is supposed to mate with, it is a
bit frustrating..
Thank you all
