Subject: [CR]Schwinn Paramount Tool Kit--What was in it?

I'm trying to put together a tool kit to go along with my early 70s Schwinn Paramounts. I have most of the tools but not all. I have a photo (from eBay) of what tools go in the tool bag, as supplied by Schwinn, but I'm not sure what all of them are. Working from the photo I have, here's my guess at the inventory of the Schwinn Paramount tool kit:

1. Campy crank nut wrench, sometimes referred to as the "peanut butter" wrench (bright aluminum) 2. Campy crank puller (dark steel) 3. Campy T-wrench (allen and socket combo) (aluminum) 4. Campy chainwheel nut wrench (dark steel) 5. Campy allen wrench with large knurled nut on longer part (aluminum) 6. Campy seatpost wrench (bent bright steel) 7. Allen wrench (bright steel), unknown brand and size 8. Unknown tool (bright) about half the length of the the Campy crank nut wrench; one end larger than the other (in 2 steps) 9. Schwinn Paramount owners manual.

Would someone who has one, inventory the contents and verify/complete the list above? And does anyone know if the tool kit would be different for a road bike versus a track bike?

I checked the CR archives and found no references to Schwinn tool(s).

Thanks,
