First one of these that I have ever owned.  Found it at the last Shipshewana show on a key-chain in a box of "stuff" that I bought for $5.00.

One of out members created a tool for this a while back. There is a post about it here:

The final tool is a bit different and I am not sure it ever made it beyond the trial stage. I was lucky enough to get one of the trial tools. I have only used it a couple of times and it works great. It differs from the one posted as it is smaller and had 2 different handles so it can be used with the dial installed in the phone or out.
