Otari Status screws

[Ollie]

Hi,

We've got an Otari Status with no channel screws in it. I believe they are
American stylee screws but I must confess I know next to nothing about this
type. If there's no M infront then I haven't got a clue. So yeah, if anyone
out there with a Status can enlighten me as to what screw dimensions I need
I would be eternally grateful. Even better, if you know a source for them in
the UK I'll be gratful for even longer.

Thanks

Ollie

If you have the service manual take a look at the schematics, it should
be listed there.

Thanks for the replies. I tried Otari (who haven't got back to me) and
Stirling (who didn't know), but I reckon they're probably 4-40 screws. I
found several references to these in the manual, although couldn't find an
actual reference to the particular screw in question. Now the only problem
will be getting them in black counter-sunk. I feel a trawl through the
internet coming on.

Thanks again
Ollie

Look in the yellow pages under "Fasteners" and you should find some local
industrial fastening place which will have them. If you come up totally
dry, let me know and I'll drop a couple in an envelope.

So go to Home Depot, buy a 4-40 screw (or box of 25) of any
description, and see if it fits the thread. If it does, then all you
need to do is find 4-40 screws in the right length, color, and head
style. If it doesn't, then start looking for metric sizes, probably
2.5 mm.

Tell me how many you need and I'll get 'em for you.
I'll be going there in the week after next.

Thanks very much for the offer Bryson. I have just ordered some screws
yesterday though, so I think I'm OK for this. Thanks for offering though.

Cheers
