A question about screwing

[thxdave]

Hah, made you look!! ;-)
Actually, I do need help with a question about screws used in Marantz chassis. I picked up a nice 5220 cassette deck and the previous owner destroyed the screws used to hold down the top of the cabinet. According to the SM, the screw shows up in the exploded cabinet view as Marantz part #0225. In the parts list of the SM, the screw is described as a "T2.6 x 5". Is this a metric screw? I always thought they were prefaced with an "M" as in "M2.6 x 5", no?

Here is a photo of that screw taken from a 5020 cassette deck. It is the smaller screw compared to the M4 next to it. Instead of a pan head, it is a truss head or something like that - rounded, but shorter than a round head. I looked on Fasteners Express and didn't see an equivalent. If you find one, let me know.

Steven, does it look like I'm reading that parts list correctly re: sizes?

 

[thxdave]

I got out my calipers to measure this screw and I believe it is this one. I've ordered a small quantity:

Yes, Dave, in spite of the T in the part size, I think this is a metric 2.6mm X 5 mm. I think the ones you ordered are the right ones, but the head is taller - more like a pan head, so it will stick up a little bit more than the original. Also, I noticed the front screw is a little longer - 8mm.
