other than needing a long shaft it needed a slightly hard to find but by no means exotic T15 bit IIRC.

Somewhat special as you would not find that at hardware or electronic shops easily in those days.

I think I started with a ridiculously long T-handle allen wrench from an Elevator company tool kit and some needle files, so all that sounds right. You guys have better memories than I do!

Harlan Ellison (one of my all-time favorite authors) uses a manual typewriter.

Love his writing. Unfortunately I’ve met him…
