Yamaha CA-2010 cover screws

[DragonMaster]

What thread size are the cover screws using again (I know it's M-something)? I got my CA-2010 with only two of them.

Its a metric thread.Take 1 of the screws with you to a hardware store. I'm not sure of the "M" number..

Already done, I just can't remember which one it was, and I can't find where I put the screws...

Oops..Damn..I hate it when I do that..PM Merrylander he probably knows exactly what the thread size and pitch is.

Check the parts list in the service manual, it is in the Yamaha collection I think.

Just checked in my SM, the screw dimensions are there for every single screws, except the cabinet ones. ("Cabinet Fixing Screw")

I'll check the CA-1010 manual.

EDIT: It's just called "screw".

Yamaha did use some non-metric screws, typically a #10 - 32.

Don't know if this helps much as I can't measure the threads accurately. But here is a pic of the screw from my 2010.

OK, just found the bag with the screws I bought (and one of the two Yamaha originals). They're M5 screws, the diameter is just a tad larger than 10-32 screws. The 10-32 screws fit in an M5 hole, but are a bit looser than real M5s.

Maybe I'll use the 10-32s : I have a bag of nice stainless steel 10-32 rackmount screws, and the M5s I got are ugly flat-blade screws from the hardware store.
