SM-3 feet
I took off the feet of a 1958 SM-3 for cleaning; now I can't reinstall them because I can't figure out a way to get the insanely small nut positioned so that they meet the incoming screw/bolt. Can anyone help please?
Thanks

Re: SM-3 feet
Greetings Mike: While I have no experience of the SM-3, I am guessing that the nut is on the inside of the machine and the bolt goes up from the bottom. I have an older small screwdriver, made by 'Upson Bros, from Rochester. NY. It has a small 'clip' on the tip (that slides up and down the shaft) that will grip a nut (or bolt head) while you hold the screwdriver handle and manipulate it into position. A search reveals that these are often named 'spring clip' screwdrivers, or 'clip and grip' - something similar to this might work for you.
Many Thanks
David

Thanks David. I'll look for a screwdriver like that.. maybe one with a bendy shaft too.. those nuts are the devil to get at!
