orange_hand Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Hi, unfortunately I have lost a set of screws for my PacTec PT-10 enclosure. I need the screws that close the case. http://de.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=Z9cUvWiPQVClPaLgeq0TiA%3D%3D I tried several other screws in my portfolio but none of them fits. The ones for the Pac Tec PT-10 have a different thread. Maybe somebody has an old case which is not used any more and could sell me the 4 screws. Any help is appreciated.

mazatta Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 That's the best way to find something you've lost seemingly forever - buy a replacement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Hi, and today, I found the original screws again :-) Cheers orange Thats how it works, if you loose something and cannot find it, the quickest way to find it is to STOP LOOKING FOR IT. Sounds crazy but try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
