Lord Innit Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Hi, I recently got back into repairing my old Colecovision after taking it apart last year. Now it is working perfectly and all back together but the eight screws that hold the case together are missing. I can't find the little container I put them in. Does anyone know what size these screws are ? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikrananka Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I just checked some of mine and the original screws are #6 x 5/8". From experience you can also get away with #6 x 1/2". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, I knew it was an imperial size and even though the photo in the other rrply shows it against a metric ruler, it helped me work out the size which your reply confirms. ?
