The little slotted screw that holds the condenser in the stock Tiger
distributor... The slot stripped and I can't get it out.  I've had
penetrating oil on it (PB) and still no luck. The plate was fairly oily
anyway, so no rust.  Anybody have any ideas, short of total disassembly?

Stu,
If you can get a Dremel tool in there you might be able to clean the slot
up so that it's useable.  Use one of their cutoff disks.
