Hi!

Does any of the resident Atari-heads have an idea of the two screws that hold the Peter Pack Rat joystick handle to the shaft?

What size screws and nuts should I buy?

I'm in metric land and I currently have 3mm screws in there, but it's loose. Obviously it needs to be some kind of imperial measurement. However what comes easy to you guys is a long iterative process for me, as I'm not used to working with fractions or "number something screws" when buying fasteners.

I can get just about any kind of screw from a specialist shop, but I'd like to get the right ones on my first trip. :)

Thanks in advance!

Does the manual have a parts list that might help?
Take the metric size that fits and the next one up that is too big to the specialty shop. At least that will reduce the choices! :)
 
I looked long and hard at the manual, but it didn't have a list. Most other Atari manuals have precise part lists, so I felt a bit let down. ;-)

However I think I've narrowed it down a bit, I'll just need to do some measuring with my trusty caliper. :)
 
I guess I didn't look hard enough. I read through the entire manual again and towards the end there was a second control panel illustration + full parts list. :)

I'll never doubt an Atari manual again.
