Posted by: elemenoh on 2021-01-01 17:35:49Is this eBay listing for $10 with free shipping comparable to the set of screws you're offering?Yes, but the plastic tapping screws in that picture look like they're actually the shorter screws used to attach the CRT to the front bezel. | |
Posted by: Stephen on 2021-01-01 17:46:28Yes, but the plastic tapping screws in that picture look like they're actually the shorter screws used to attach the CRT to the front bezel.Personally, I find the price for an individual set a little off-putting. However, I understand there's time involved for packing and shipping — also, you invested the time and risk to source and purchase these. Just my $0.02 — apologies in advance if it's not appreciated. | |

Just my $0.02 — apologies in advance if it's not appreciated.Yeah I’m not really looking to spend a lot of time on this, but figured I’d make them available for people who really want them. FWIW I priced them at $10/set on eBay with much smaller volume discounts. So there’s a substantial discount for people who buy here. | |

Posted by: josietron on 2021-10-12 23:09:381 set (2 of each screw type): $7Just found this thread looking for case screws for an SE. Are there any left? I'd happily pay for a set or 2. | |
Posted by: wottle on 2021-10-13 20:47:07Just found this thread looking for case screws for an SE. Are there any left? I'd happily pay for a set or 2.I could use some as well. Picked up a new SE and it only had two, plus a empty case that didn't have any. I'll probably be trying to add a Plus and a Classic to my collection at some point, so 3 sets would be perfect for me if they are still available. | |
| Posted by: Iesca on 2021-10-14 01:46:33 I'm in the US; don't even need a full set, just two screws for the handle... | |
| Posted by: pgreenland on 2022-06-28 12:25:15 @elemenoh Have you got any of these awesome looking screw sets left? I just got hold of three SE/30's in need of some TLC and all without screws 🙈. | |
Posted by: mg.man on 2022-06-28 13:58:58I just got hold of three SE/30's in need of some TLC and all without screwsWhich screws are you after? If case screws, I can probably help... let me know. | |
| Posted by: elemenoh on 2022-06-28 16:31:41 @pgreenland yes, but shipping internationally is really expensive for what they are. I'd take up @mg.man's offer if I were you 🙂 | |

I'd take up @mg.man's offer if I were you 🙂Thanks for the reply @elemenoh . Have dropped @mg.man a message. I hadn't got as far as considering shipping yet 🙈, may be good to get a little strategic reserve of case screws in the UK at some point. | |

| Posted by: elemenoh on 2022-09-19 20:24:47 For people who find this post, I'm not currently taking orders since I'm busy with other things. I might be able to figure out another way to make them available though and will post here if and when that happens. | |
| Posted by: Mike68k on 2022-09-26 17:37:23 I ran across this thread today after I got some at the hardware store. The ones I got matched in size very close and were the same threads but they only had them in Phillips heads. If I had the specs for these screws it would have helped so much love to the OP posting specs. I’d rather have the torx heads but for now mine will do 🙂 | |

| Posted by: MelvinWilkinson on 2023-05-01 00:13:37 Hey, just came across this thread and wanted to share my 2 cents. Phillips heads are still pretty good, but I feel you on wanting the torx heads. Maybe you can find some online or at another store. As for the specs, yeah that would have been helpful. I usually just bring in a screw and try to match it up that way, but having the specs would definitely save some time. Also, since you mentioned hardware, have you tried using concrete/brick plugs when installing screws into those types of surfaces? They can really help add some extra stability. I'm still learning about all this stuff myself, but that's something I picked up recently. Anyways, hope you stick around and keep posting. | |

Posted by: dcorsivo on 2024-05-30 05:40:09Some of my compact Macs are either missing or have corroded case screws. They're weird specs of course, so I couldn't find proper off the shelf replacements.I saw where you're not filling orders at this time. Can you tell us where you ordered these screws from? | |
