Ivin:

The allen wrench size is .050".  I have also used a 1.3mm, which is .052".
The main concern is to get a good quality allen wrench, as the El Cheapo
imported wrench's, such as Harbor Freight, etc., are usually soft, and fairly
easy to round off the corners.

HI, the resonate control moves a slug up and down and as time goes on if
becomes subject to gravity.  In the past I have taken the know off and
placed a felt washer behind the know to create a little friction between
the knob and the face plate.  The allen is small and they do exist.
