A600 Case Screws
« on: January 23, 2018, 05:19:48 PM »
Hello!

Does anyone know what type of screws I can purchase for the case of an Amiga 600?  I'm hoping I can pick them up at the hardware store here in the US rather than having to purchase from over seas.  Things from the UK have been taking way longer these days so hoping to save myself a month of waiting.

THANKS!

It's an oval head screw, 10.5mm long, the head is 5.4mm wide, the  threads are 3.0mm wide at the widest point, and there are approximately 3  threads per 3.3mm or 4 threads per 4.5mm.        

Screws in the front of the case may need to be slightly shorter.

Hey Mike.... what was this Google you spoke of earlier? :lol:

Ugh.. so they are pretty specific.  Should I just order them from Amiga Kit then?  Has anyone ever found something proper at say Home Depot?

Oh.. and thanks for the reply!

The thread count is pretty unique (for going into plastic), that's why (IMHO) they're going to be pretty hard to find at a Home Depot/Lowes type of store.

Couldn't hurt to bring one over and try to make a visual match, but (again IMHO) you're probably going to just be wasting your gas & time.

Okay.. thanks so much!  I'm just going to order them.  I have time and the last thing I want to do is damage my case with the wrong screws.  :P

Haha.. thank you!

I feel dumb buying $1 screws.  I looked around to see if there was something else to purchase but didn't see anything off hand.  If you have any suggestions, let me know before you ship that off and I'll make an add.
