My receiver has a loose control knob and the hex key size is smaller than 1/16". Anyone know what size key is needed for these knobs? Doesn't look like they'll be at my local hardware store though. Also needing a source for 4-40 x 3/32" set screws for my NAV122, they sent the new knobs without the setscrews.

King was big on Bristo (Bristol) screws which had six indents rather than six flat sides as do Allen screws.  The proper screwdriver has ridges at the vertices  of a hexagon rather than flats.



Your hardware store may know about them. Harbor Freight has been offering a collection of tips for 1/4 inch handles for a reasonable price.

Those ought to be easy to find. Can't you use the old ones? Stop by if you're anywhere near Colorado Springs.

Thanks Doug, I'll find a source for a couple of the right size Xcellite splined keys here in Oz. As for the NAV122 set screws, Colorado Springs is a bit far for a day trip  (it was an ebay purchase and neither of us thought of them when the seller said "I'll send new knobs")
