Made by Melco, 75mm long, from here.

4BA = 0.248 inches
5BA = 5.59mm

Not pretty, and 5BA is a bit sloppy on 5.5mm, but it works OK. Could do with some tidying up of sharp edges.

Neato!

It would fit nicely on my key-ring tool box.
You never know when you need to open up a keyboard in the wild!

(Currently I have a philips, flat-head, and mini adjustable wrench, which are usually sufficient for most basic situations)

Just add a hefty mallet, and you're set to completely strip-down and reassemble a Model F... anywhere!
