I noticed on the Sweet Sixteen there is a thumb screw for the needle. Would this thumb screw work on an HQ 16 as well? And if so, how might I get one?

This thumb screw would make it so much more convenient and fast for changing needles than to have to hunt for the little wrench and hope you don't over tighten the screw each time you change out a needle.
