Filco screw size
« on: Sat, 20 February 2016, 11:39:01 »
I'm building a Phantom and sourcing the parts individually. Does anyone know what size the screws are that attach the switch plate to the Filco keyboard body / frame?

I read in some other threads that the screws might be m2.5? Does anyone have a definite answer on thread size and length? I believe there's three screws that attach the plate to the body.. are they all the same?

The phantom plate just has holes which use the Filco's plastic supports.

Unless I'm mistaken, the threads of the screws go through the plate and into those plastic supports. Right? So I would still need to know the proper size and length.

Do you have a Filco case with no screws or something? They're threaded uniquely because they mount right into plastic and not an inlaid metal nut.
