 On these little buggers, the hammer flange rail comes way down in front of
 the regulating screws, and it's a real pain trying to adjust these things.
 I was able to do it, but it wasn't all that easy.  I can imagine with some
 trepidation the process of setting the whole line of 88.
 
 Any little secrets anyone has up their sleeve? other than a large bottle of
 'happy pills'? <grin>
 
 Inquiring minds just had to ask...

I took a drop screw tool for a combination handle, and ground down the shaft 
about in half. Now if fits between the wood regulating buttons.
