Does anyone know where I can find an insulated alignment tool with a 1/4" hex socket for adjusting tuning capacitors and IF adjustments.  I had one years ago but can not find one today.  The kits that the on-line Electronic stores sell do not have the hex socket in them  I have restored 2 Philco radios, Models 80 & 81.  You can not use a metallic tool for adjustments on these radios.

Thanks very much to anyone who can help.
