For hex tools there are 2 common sizes. The Zenith uses the
most common on & there is a smaller one sometimes used.
Also a square one for RCA. Screwdriver ones are mostly used in JP sets
& small radio.
Another tool that are almost a must have is a LONG 1/4" (#8)
nutdriver. Xcelite used to make it. About 30" long with a
magnet, gets to screws holding tuners & deep in anywhere.
Be sure a used one isnt worn. Should be lots of NOS around.
They also made a yellow handled one (dont remember size)
and a phillips. The phillips is essential for some old JP sets.

Well then it looks like I make the right purchase the other day. Spent some time searching as many ways as I could figure in order to find them. I ended up finding the 9 piece set from the company in your attachment. They should be here early next week. Just in time to adjust the new coil I am installing.

I'd love a long nut driver. What I've been doing is putting together all of my bit holders together to make a long one. Only issue with it is that it flexes like crazy and I have to hold it about 2" higher on the back end so the head is at the level of the fastener. LOL!

Well the new coil worked like charm. It's an exact replacement.

I managed to get the convergence touched up, but the darn blue lines on the left and right (especially right) side of the screen do not curve like the red and green. If they would just bend up about 1/4 inch or so, the convergence would be about perfect. Oh well.
