I finally met my match the other day!  I was trying to resurrect my late Dad's 2150 the other day, and found that I needed to adjust the needles a little bit...I pulled out my trusty 1/8" plastic tubing, and it was good enough to push onto the splines, but was too big to actually adjust the screw.  After a time, I found some copper tubing of the same size, and with a little ingenuity I was able to make my "new" tool work just as good, or better than the one that you can buy in the store.  Long story longer, if you take a little time, and use your head, you can make just about anything that is laying around your shop do the job that you need it to.
