"Set Screws" size for Donkey Kong Joystick Ball Top?
« on: January 14, 2015, 10:37:32 AM »
The set screw is missing on my Donkey Kong Joystick Ball Top.
Anybody know the size for it? Or could measure it for me?

All I could find on KLOV was that you need a 5/64 allen wrench set to remove it.

This would hold the black ball top in place because mine keep unscrewing when I play.

Thanks!

PS: Pretty hard to make a post that includes all those words without making a joke BTW.

Thanks Etienne but I'm looking for the tiny screw itself, not for the tool.

I know thats why i posted:

so i think they mean 6/32" which is 3/16" which is 4,7498 mm

although, your measuring device says 4 mm...

Anyway, great you find one of those tiny bits  ;D  ;D  ;D

@ Etienne, OK, thanks!  :spaceace:

I was in touch with Mike (Mike's Arcade) regarding this matter and since today he is carrying them (along many other Nintendo parts). Great guy, don't hesitate to buy from him.
