"Keep in mind, if you attempt to use this device on any servo other than the one that it's intended for, you may get results less than optimum. The 59XX and 56XX series servos that I used on this fixture were an extremely tight fit, it worked, but it's not recommended by the manufacturer."

Just so you know Bob, the part that gets tight are the locating pins, not the servo opening. Using the fixture for other servos I was able to drop the servo into the opening then needed to force it on the locating pins. This is not recommended by the manufacturer, however, I found that I was able to use it with excellent results on all of the Hitec programmable servos I have.

Again please note: This is not recommended by the manufacturer.
