List. I am in need of a few (4) damper lifter wire screws for a Starr 5' Grand, 1936. Have tried most local hardward stores, Ace, Lowes, a couple speciality fastener suppliers, etc. and basically the same results. Nothing!. This screw is brass and screws into a brass barrel nut in the damper lifter flange. Bob Davis - you'll remember this. The screw diameter is .095, screw length is 8.732 mm, thread length is 7.144 mm. The thread gauge is metric and neither I nor any store had a metric thread gauge. So hopefully with what I can give you may help, especially if someone has an old action laying around. What I have found is a .097 diameter screw, however the additional .002 in diameter will not allow the screw to be threaded into the barrel nut. The screws for the newer actions, i.e. C. Walter Piano Co, grands, won't work, too short and wrong dia. Dave at Schaff is helping to look for this screw. Any assistance on this search would be greatly appreciated.
