Hi guys,
I'm looking for a vintage Boss back plate screw, and a treadle screw. (Side of the top plate)
Vintage Boss screws look a bit different and have larger heads than the current ones from Boss.
Thanks.

If someone knows a good source for new adequate screws, please tell us, too.
The ones that I purchased at Banzai Music (Berlin) are okay, but they even have a smaller head than the modern BOSS back plate screws. And I think that they don't offer proper screws for the treadle plate.

I do have a brand new back plate screw, and a treadle plate screw from Boss Canada, if anyone wants.
They don't look right on my 1982 MIJ SD-1.

Did the ones I sent ever turn up?
I've had to wait over a month for some packages from ON.

Hey Laurie. No, they did not.
Really, over a month from here? I've never experienced that. I guess there's still hope then!

Looks like the two vintage screws from Laurie have been lost in the mail!
Has anyone else got a couple of extra vintage screws, please?
