Ok, maybe a bit weird question here, but does anyone knows what standard and size are the case screws of the unit?
I namely bought mine a while ago and it's missing two of the screws, I've done rudimentary measurements and ordered what I thought were the right ones, but they ended up not fitting at all.

I assume since this is a Japanese product, the standard these screws conform to is JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) as opposed to the more common DIN/ISO standards?

Just asking, if anyone maybe knows. Thanks!

The service manual might show the screw sizes.

Thanks, I'll look it up on the Web, as I only got the unit, no cables, no manual.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything in the owner's manual, but I was able to find Service Notes here:

The scan is not of the best quality, but you can make out the text for the screw size, it's M3x6 B-Tight binding. Not sure what B-Tight stands for, but from the shape of it, it looks to be an ordinary DIN7985 type.

I guess I'll order some and find out 😀

Thanks for the help!

B-Tight likely means self-tapping.
