Members BLAblablah Posted July 12, 2006 Members Share Posted July 12, 2006 Would anyone know a source for black screws and nuts? Specifically, I need the black wood screws that attach the wood end panels on an Alesis QS 8.1 keyboard, as well as some of the black nuts that fasten the 1/4'' output jacks to the case. I had it serviced a couple of years ago and didn't notice until much later that some of these items were missing. Now I am looking to sell it, and would like it to be more complete. Oh...and Alesis was no help. Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BLAblablah Posted July 14, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 14, 2006 Thanks Mark...I was afraid this would just be one of those dreaded sinking threads. I had actually checked Parts Express before, and while I may have to use their Black Oxide phillip's head screws...I was hoping to find the hex-head type that came on it from the factory. Also, they still don't have the black nuts for the 1/4'' outputs...and I would gladly buy the jacks in order to get the nuts. As a last resort, I may just try to find an old non-functioning microverb (or other old Alesis product)...I think they all have the same nuts. If anyone has such a thing, let me know...I'd gladly pay a few bucks for it.You can contact me at: blablablah-at-gmail-dot-comBear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dan-o-guitar Posted July 15, 2006 Members Share Posted July 15, 2006 This is a long shot, but try your local hobby store (one that specializes in radio control gear). I've found lots of black hardware there including hex-head bolts and nuts. It seems they are used on RC cars a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BLAblablah Posted July 15, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 15, 2006 Thanks Casper & Dan-o. Mcmaster.com doesn't have any black hardware that I could find. There is a Hobby Shop near me that carries a lot of RC gear...I will give that a shot (sure never occured to me). As far as Ace Hardware, I had already tried them as well as Home Depot and Lowes...any color screws you want as long as they're not black. As for the nuts on the 1/4" jacks, I think I am just going to post some WTB ads on a few forums for old DEAD Alesis rack gear. Maybe someone will be happy to get a few bucks (plus shipping) for that old non-functioning Microverb, Midiverb, etc. Surprisingly, I had already checked what I thought would be very likely sources...such as Markertec with no success there either. I just find it kind of amazing when you consider all of the Black music gear out there. Thanks for the ideas...and any others are welcome.Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
