Thank you for your replies. My AF10 is a threaded shaft. I noticed that one on Ebay and I'm watching it.  I kind of held back because of the wobbly wheels, but I might be able to correct that.  It could end up being a good runner.   I'll see how the auction goes. Thanks.

The key you need is an 8-32 female thread. Doug Peck at Portlines hobby list it as sku# 2701, but out of stock. I would try calling Mr. Henning's and Doug Peck. Until you can locate one Google 8-32 female couplings. Lots available. Screw on the coupling and wind with a socket or wrench.

Thank you. I'll go check that out tomorrow.

A couple of years ago, I bought some keys from https://www.clockworks.com/.  As I recall, they add a surcharge on "small" orders, which was a bit maddening, but when something is hard to find...
