Fastenal.so, none of my local hardware stores seem to have this specific screw and amazon is of no help thus far. Where do yall get your set screws when ya need em?
Instockfastners.com?
You have an odd ball. Try mutual screw or harbor freight after that idk.nope
yeah, its an Xtant A series. All its missing is the set screw for + or - the screw i have is in the - but theyre obviously the same. I took it to ace and they had a screw sizing thing on the wall that you put your screws in to see what size they are, and its an M7 narrow thread. Didnt think it would be this much of a PITA to get a replacementYou have an odd ball. Try mutual screw or harbor freight after that idk.
You maybe screwed. Doubt harbor freight has any. Mutual screw maybe. Mutual screw sounds like a nickname we had for a girl in high school.yeah, its an Xtant A series.

might have to do that. i drilled the M7 out anyways, but i know an M7 still fits because i took the other M7 out and it threads in just fine. Nice and tight. Id hate to retap it if i dont have to, ya feel me mayne?Try McMaster-Carr
Edit: they have m7 coarse thread, however there is an m8 fine thread. Maybe re tap the threads for the m8 fine?
yeah... i called a local fastenal earlier today and the guy damn near laughed at me when i asked for an M7 set screw. He referred to it as illusive and wished me good luck. I asked about any ideas he might have and he suggested dying the hole to fit an M8It ***** doesn't it OP?
just finding a set screw is a real chore.
Try finding a service manual or schematic. Even voltage check points or talk to a tech about something
Not gonna happen..
No wonder this industry is dead.
The only place is....wait for it: China!
Made in the USA!!
YA sure it is uh huh. wheres those parts then?
These companies dont even answer phones or emails.
