The cover screws have fallen out of my Sharp SR60!! HElp!

[Guest Anonymous]

Where can I find new ones? Sould I seek out exactly the same ones or venture out to a hardware store?

Right now, a rubber band is holding the cover in place, so I'd like to fix this a.s.a.p. Anyone here had any experience with this problem.

Any advice greatly appreciated. I am in the New York area...

Thx,

Not sure if this will work, but have you tried an eyeglass repair kit? The screws may be small enough to work, though I take no responsibility if they strip out the threads in your MD case.

Also, give a call to your local business machine repair shop, or any shop that repairs small devices (watches, etc). They may be willing to sell you a bunch of screws, or even donate a couple to your cause.

Last resort (and most expensive), check eBay for scrap machines you can purchase cheap and cannibalise.

Good luck!

Wouldnt it be simpler just to find a service center in NY? They would have all the screws you need right?
