moog flag tool

2013-07-22 by Terje Winther

Hi,
I don“t suppose anyone have an extra "moog flag tool"?
This is the minimoog "flag tool" that you use to release the small metal "flags" that are inside those white plastic AMP multicontacts that holds all the PCBs. Used in some other synths as well, but the minimoog is infamous for these, since you need to remove them and solder the cables (originally they are only crimped).
So what are people using these days? It says in the service manual that "if you are careful, you can use a paper clip".
Well, I tried, but I never seem to get the feeling of to do this.
Any hints?
