Found an old Soul Preacher in a bag in the basement that I figured I could Ebay, but the screw for the battery cover is missing. I bought some #6/32's at Home Depot, and it fits the cover itself but not the hole on the box. Any ideas?  |

Got a good hardware store near you? Ace Hardware near us sells individual screws both standard and metric
4-40 is next standard size down.
pedal made in Russia? maybe metric screw like M3.5

Yup! Kito75 had it right. I remembered what Peegoo said ages ago about searching for those little screws thru an RC equipment supplier. Got some #4-40 half inch screws and it fits the Soul Preacher!! The weird thing is that my EH-LPB-2 has a non-original screw that is holding the battery lid in place (barely) but the hole is too big for the #4-40 but too small for the #6-32. I think somebody tapped it or something.

If you don't have a screw that fits and no access to taps etc just get a sheetmetal screw and be done with it.. OK now the perfects of the world can clobber me LOL  |
