Colecovision screw size

[Lord Innit]

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.

Looks like 1 1/2 inches.

I think you mean 1.5cm 😁

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".

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. 👍
