<div>Marshall,<br>A smart idea would have been to take the turnbuckle with you to the hardware store, match the size thread by trying a bolt in the hole, then purchase a number of them for future use. You could then have told us the size.<br>
Remember that the turnbuckle comprises a left and right-hand thread.<br><br>

<div dir="ltr"><font size="3" face="Arial">Hi Everyone,</font><br><font size="3" face="Arial">I encountered a Yamaha console today, yeah I had to work a fit someone in. Groupon is great but killing me at the same time :-) Anyway, the two little nuts are missing for the turn buckle/linkage. I thought I'd head to the hardward store tomorrow before I head back to tune it. I had to check for repairs today. It also has several bad cord loops and ones that are disconnected. What size nut will I need or do I need a special one from Yamaha? Thanks</font><br>
