Minolta Micro Screw Dimensions per Part Number

[Christopher Walrath]

I have been searching high and low. My Google is huffing and puffing from the effort.

Does anyone have or know of reference material that offers screw dimesions (M thread by pitch by length w/ head type) according to OE Minolta part numbers? There's no detail in the servie manuals as those manuals were used in a time when you could contact Minolta and order the screws by part number.

Cant help you but if you do find anything PLEASE pass it on.

I do have a couple of parts camera's, what do you need?

[Christopher Walrath]

Don't need anything. Gonna tear into an XG-M in the present future and, upon looking at the manuals I'm dying to get better information.

[AgX]

But as you have the original parts, why wouldn't you just measure, or probe, those?

[Christopher Walrath]

Oh, I can, to the extent I am willing to dismantle the camera, anyhow. I could always include cataloging into the prjoect and prolong it a bit. I think that will be my resort if I must know. Dangit.

[AgX]

So, you don't need parts, but want to complete the manuals?

[brian d]

I will try most repairs on about any older camera, but if your tearing in to a electronic camera your current tag line pretty well sums it up

<<IT'S NEVER TOO EARLY TO PANIC>>

[Christopher Walrath]

See what y'all started? I have spent the interim entering every part number into the A column of a spreadsheet and am beginning to enter descriptions. I get way too inti stuff when a hair grows wild. Dangit!

This way you will avoid the never ending question of "wait a minute,which screw went in this hole?"
