[sdiy] Hot tip!

[Dave Kendall]

They were standard issue for trimming the 3-position gain-set trimmers  
on the bottom of SQN location mixers, back when I sometimes did that  
sort of thing.

The portabrace bags for holding them on a shoulder strap, had a few  
long thin loops of material, so you could store them or small  
screwdrivers in the bag ready for quick(ish) access.
In 2003, a couple of days after the Iraq operation started, a customs  
guy in the airport in Miami was very suspicious about the "Tweaker" and  
the 7" long thin screwdriver used as a substitute that he found in the  
sound gear bag. The air of exhaustion and total boredom of our crew  
must have convinced him we weren't about to attack anything except a  
beer or two, swiftly followed by sleeping all the way home if at all  
possible, so we went on our way...


cheers,
Dave
