Especially if it accepts a 7/116" wrench, which I ain't seen one around
lately.

Lotsa planes did. 12-28 turnbuckle barrels are AN155-21's. But this
one appears to be bronze instead of brass, has a hex center section
that accepts a 7/116" wrench and is a tad less than 2-1/2" long, about
a quarter inch longer than a standard AN155.

I've never seen anything like it.
