OrionStang Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 So the seller said the screw was missing, no biggie, got another one. But the threads are stripped on the amp. Would have been nice to know. Anyway, I just want (need) it fixed. Does anybody know the size of the set screws, and what size would be just a tad bigger?

stevog Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 take an original to a place like home depot and they have a thing that you can screw it into. im not to sure but the thread on the set screw is supposed to be fine if you get a coarse thread screw it wont go in and feels like if the threads are stripped.

HunterJohnson Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Is it definitely a machined tight thread. I would actually go to ace hardware or somewhere nice like a hole in the wall. Idk how helpful homedepot will be. You could probably bring the amp in and they could really help you.

sprkn_ranger Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Probobly have to have the threads tapped out, maybe even to a little bit bigger size. Then it will be easy to find the right size screw.
