2] What are the recommended specs for pickup height and individual pole-piece adjustment?
Many thanks

Okay - found it, thanks.
As to the saddle-lock problem, yes, the proper size hex wrench fits in the hole on the side of the bridge. I couldn't quite understand the problem - you state that you can't adjust the individual saddles, but you also say it was loosened too much and lost. Are the saddles scrunched together too tight, or are they loose? I'm kinda confused.

Thanks Will ... well something has come out / is snapped / missing ... I have looked in very closely and can not see any hex-shaped part ... just a little gap until I see what seems to be a flat-faced metal part. No hex key of about the right size gets any purchase. The saddles are squeezed quite tight. I can see something pressing against them from the side of the top e string. They can be adjusted a little but I would rather be able to loosen them fully first.

Oh boy - shipping $25 to England.
I'll try to find a UK supplier.

I did
$25 was the cheapest by a long way.
Ah well.
I'd like to ask ... beyond the disappoinment that a fine 2nd hand purchase has this one 'fault' ... how much of a problem do I have? Is not having the screw in there a major problem re: set up etc?

Taking the saddles out is a good idea - to get access and a good look.
I'm just wondering - whatever is in there ... will it push out or is it likely to be screwed in on threads?
It'll have to come out if I get a replacement part.
Cheers
@ Craig - pm sent, thank you.

You should be able to set it up fine without, and simply tighten it all up once you have the part.
