Sony BMC-100P Door Screw

[Libratron]

Hello at all,

It's possible to find today this screw,
for the cassette compartment of the BMC-100P?

Anyone have this type of screw?

Thanks Again.

Measure the screw and then try searching ebay for:

You may find something that is similar if not identical, but you will need to know the size first.

Good luck!

Thanks Maclee.

They look an awful lot like screws used in laptop computers!! Could give that a try if you have any lying about.

Do you have one which you could post a picture of?

I suspect lots of top-loading domestic videos used similar screws, and we might have some in our scrap boxes if we knew the dimensions etc.

Is the head type important? I imagine it would be a standard metric thread, or possibly a self tapper.

[Nickthedentist]

ISTR these are sometimes non-magnetic specials. Or did I imagine that?!

I seem to recall reading that, while Japan does indeed use ISO Metric screw threads, the JIS specifies a different countersink angle from the ISO countersink used in Europe. The American McMaster-Carr catalogue used to list both types.

Thanks very much at all!

The screw is completed missing.
But in the service manual of the BMC-100 i think to find
in the mechanism exlpode, the part number and the misure.

Thanks again!

Just checked and JIS countersunk head screws have the same countersink angle as the ISO, but the head is wider.

Thanks Emeritus.
