Title: Oops. Specs for Unicomp/Model M screws?
Post by: mrbill on Fri, 26 March 2010, 20:14:21

While my Unicomp 104-key has been dissasembled, I seem to have lost the bolts that hold the outer shell together.  Oops.  Now I have someone I need to loan the board to.  

What are the specs for them, so I can go get more at the hardware store?

Ducktape, oh, where art thou!

Call unicomp and ask them.

Or, bring the keyboard to a hardware store and do the old "trial and error" until you find one that fits.

PS. Duct tape, not duck tape.

Electrical tape is fine, too.

Yikes.

You know that pain when you rip off a bandage off your arm? Now think your genitals, and duct-tape...

You picked some fine display examples ricercar.  Well done.

Quick question, though.  Why do you have all those various tape pics?  Some weird fetish?
