Title: any digi 001 owners?
Post by: macStuff on August 15, 2018, 09:04:14 AM
strange request - but i took the rack ears off my digi 001 some time ago.. and now im trying to find the screws to properly reattach them..
can anyone upload a pic of what the screws look like? i think they were black and thin + kinda long? i cant remember tho.. im searching for them but cant find - a visual aid would help alot - thanks in advance!

Have a 001 but never rack mounted it so the screws are probably long gone. I'll take a look in the morning. Somebody around here must have one racked up I would think!

most rackear screws are of the countersunk type, about 3/8 of an inch long
the conic head should make them stand out a bit in the mess ;)

these ones arent normal screws for rack gear.. they are smaller and thin black screws for attaching the rack ears themselves which then use the normal type rack gear screws to attach to a standard rack

if anyone can show a pic it would help me locate or try to replace

i just finally managed to get a broken peice of headphone plug out of my digi 001 which i had written off because i was unable to get it out for the last 2 years lol but yea - hoping i can get it racked + back in active duty

... and aren't they 'countersunk' ? ;)
btw I referred to 'rack ear' not rack gear above and understood that it was about mounting the ears to the gear  ;D
For one sunk screws look more neat, but they also have a more 'focussed' application of force to the connection.
