Hello, I have 1909 VV-XVI Victrola. It uses two screws just under the platter to hold the motor board to the case.
When I got it, there were no screws. I got lucky, when I flipped it on it's back to make a repair, one fell out of the bottom.
These are an odd size screw (well at least I could not find any in my junk pile).
They are a number 7 ... not the usual 6 or 8. In fact, I was given a couple #8's and told there were came from a motor board but they are too large (shank dia .165). I sure I could "force" them in but I would rather find the correct ones.
The shank of the body measures at .150 dia
The total length (from under the head to the end) is about 13/16
The unthreaded shank is about ¼" long
I would like two ... but really only need one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Mike

Re: Need #7 screws
Blacksmith Bolt lists #7 slotted round head blackened wood screws in 1” and 2” lengths.

Since these are longer than you need a screw salvaged from another Victrola might be a better choice.

Re: Need #7 screws
I found two in my parts. The problem is that mailing them is kind of expensive. The heads are two big and need to go into a padded mailer. The last ones I mailed, the postage was $5.35 and the mailer was $2. Let me know if you want them for the cost of mailing them.
