John,

Can you briefly describe this tool?

What is so special about it?  Special shape of tip?  Special bend?

Is it to adjust the RF through the opening from the top plate of the camera, 
or is it to adjust the arm/roller in the roof of the inside of the film 
chamber?

I suppose worse case is to remove the top deck.

regards
Vick
