[Babybearjs]

what tools are used for adjusting the tension on the old 200 series KTU equipment. I just had to fix a relay and had a dickens of a time using right angle needle nose pliers. they did the trick, but I know there is something better to use... any idea what?? I know its flat though!!!!   John

Not being overly familiar with the 200 series KTUs (as ours were similar but numbered differently, I can't tell you without seeing a photo of the contacts which need adjusting. There is nothing listed as being specifically designed for these, however, I suspect that one of the common benders will do the trick. With benders for flat springs or contacts, generally special ones weren't made for each piece of equipment, but generic spring benders were. If you can show me the contacts you need to adjust, I should be able to tell you which benders will accomplish the task needed.

Dave, thanks. I'll take a picture of the type of relay I'm talking about and post it...    John
