SPEED GRAPHIC PACEMAKER RELEASE PLATE SCREWS

[urnem57]

Help! One of the tiny screws on the release plate on my Speed Graphic Pacemaker came out today and is lost. According to the diagram, it’s part #56 and it doesn’t give a size for the screw All it says is, “Screw-machine-special” Where in the world am I going to get a replacement? All ideas welcome. The shutter release is real shaky with only 1 screw holding it in place.

Take the existing one out, measure it, reinstall it. Likely a 2-56 with a shoulder.
#2 machine screws are slightly larger than 1/16 in diameter.

Very kind of you Shutterfinger. Thanks!

Update: the front edge screws are #1 wood, oval head, 3/16 long. The side screws are #1-72 x 7/32, wide head, 1/16 shoulder. A #1-72 pan head 1/4 inch long will work.
