Source for spanner to remove power antenna chrome nut

Hi All
I'm sure there's a tool out there somewhere that will remove the chrome top ring from a 1960's power antenna without tearing it up. I'm picturing a two pin spanner of some sort. But I've struck out locating a source. Anyone know of a place selling these still?

Google two-pin spanner wrench. Many flavors.

Uh... yeah. I guess that's a little more efficient than looking through tool store listings!

I once taped a bolt between the jaws of a needle nose pliers to span the points out enough for removal of my '72 cutlass headlight switch nut - the points then fit right into the grooves of the nut and I was able to back it out without issue.

if the antenna nut is of similar design, might it work in that case as well?
