    Default Almost totally laser unrelated question - HiFi unit screws

    So, I bought a non-working TEAC ADC / amplifier / MP3 player thing and repaired it; the only problem was that the previous person who attempted to repair it removed 20-odd screws and only replaced 2, so I'm looking for replacements. Of course, these are tricky to locate fasteners, they are all Allen head with a fairly unique looking head shape, kind of pan head but completely flat on top - I'm guessing these are unique to TEAC.
    So, can anyone suggest where to get some? I don't have access to a manual, so don't have part numbers so ordering from TEAC is probably not possible; anyone know of someone specialising in this kind of weird fastener?

    Ebay is your friend in these cases, just search for TEAC, bolts, screws, fastener, etc.

    A few clear Photos of the screw would be helpful.

    give us some photo's if you can, i hoard screws for this very reason but i would need to see what the screw looks like, and the thread pitch and if it's metric or inches (i almost said standard but across that pond metric would be the standard lol

    Google "Flat head Alan Screws" or "Pan Head Flat Top MAchine Screw" and you should turn up numerous companies producing what you're looking for.

    Many are countersunk, but there are some domed flat heads out there!
