My Brand New CTC-7!

Follow what the manual says, usually it goes something like this:

Ground the reactance tube grid with a color image on screen, and adjust the local oscillator coil till a rainbow pattern just floats by. Remove the ground from the grid, and color should snap right in. Of course this assumes there aren't other problems with the set, such as the tuner being off frequency which will throw off the chroma response so far that the set doesn't even see it (even though a normal B&W image appears, this is no indicator that the tuner/alignment is anywhere close to correct).

What kind of tool should I use adjust the coil? A type of screwdriver?
