The title is the question. My new Morse Volume control is sticky, I think due to the knob being too low on the shaft. I've gone thru my collection of wrenches and don't have the right one.
Bueller? Tommyindelaware? Anyone???
 
No idea! I have a ton of 'em laying around and one always fits. I'd call EBMM customer service on Monday- they can probably fill you in.

OK!
For now on everybody direct all Morse question to Tommy instead of posting a general thread.
Tommy knows more about Morse and the Morse guitar than Steve does!!!! ;)
 
Thanks Tommy-I went to Sears Sat. AM and bought a few, intending to return the ones that didn't work-The 5/64 did the trick.
I had houseguests all weekend-tonight I'll take a few pics and set her up a bit.

yea it's close....but don't tighten too much.......the loose fit will round off the wrench....or worse...strip the hex nut in the knob.....
it works ok if every thing is fresh & clean......but later on down the road when time & sweat introduces grit and rust to the hex nut......it kinda siezes up & takes a lot of tork to loosen. that's when you need a tight fit so it don't strip metal.
2mm is real tight fit.

Peat,

Allan keys can be found in metric and good old Imperial sizes. I have a whole set at home, and none of them are metric!

But even if we *did* go metric, we probably wouldn't go so far as to use 'metre'... more likely 'meter'. ;) :D

Next you'll be wanting us to say "shhhedule". :D

typically.......metric indicates it was manufactured abroad by a supplier. most stuff made in usa isn't metric.
