Title: Need some screws for the turbo express/pc-engine gt
Post by: turbokon on 07/09/2013, 08:22 PM
I need the four black screws for the turbo express. Anybody know where I can find those or something similar that will work?

did you check your local hardware store?  I would imagine they would have something compatible.

No but I will check although I doubt they would carry them.

This is just a long shot, but I know that Ikea has screws they leave out in bins in case people loose them when assembling kits. Maybe you can just dig in those bins and find a screw that fits the size you want.

Your best bet to find the TurboExpress screws is to go to www.screw.com

One way to get the 4 screws is to buy a cheap PCE tv tuner and take them from there. The screws are identical.

Dude you da man. I have an extra pce tv turner I pulled the screws from. It didn't even cross my mind to check the turner.  Now it's just need a battery cover and this TE is complete. Woot! Woot!
