Need help! Missing set screws for Tonepros Tune-O-Matic. Where to find?

[Eschatologist]

Hey guys, need help finding a set screw for my Tune-O-Matic. Somehow the one on the left must have vibrated loose and fallen out. I've googled around some parts shops but haven't been able to find these. Any one know where I could find 'em before I email Tonepros? Thanks!

Email (or better yet) call TonePros and confirm size and thread spacing. Then any good hardware store may have the correct size "worm screw."

Sometimes a good hobby shop will have those too.

Seems to me like you should contact them and they may send you replacements free.

 

It's not like you need them right away (or ever).

 

When you put the new ones in, you can add a drop of blue loc-tite (never red loctite) to the threads before inserting, this will hold them in place. Or you can just brush a drop of regular ol' superglue over the screwhead once tightened. But avoid dropping either on your finish.

Ace Hardware has an absolute wall of little guys like these, and they sell them singly rather than force a pack on you like the giant stores. I always buy the little fittings and stuff I need from there. In cases like this, I'd take the bridge along with me since finding out sizes and thread pitch could be slow.
