Somehow I am short 2 of the stop screws for an Elma rotary switch, standard 24 position type like in a Neve piece...
anyone have some spares?

Thanks!
 
Any idea what the "size" is?  I have some defunct cameras that were given to me by a friend that works at a camera store.  Lots of small screws that can be recovered.

At the moment I have a thicker lead from a 1N4007 diode in there which works but is not perfect.

Only web place I found with small quantities was here (bottom of the page):

I also need 2, by the way!

I have used some copperwire that happens to be the right thickness more than 10 times now. Some epoxy and it stays. (No, i havent't actually lost 10 of these screw but this company around here stocks them cheap and without)
 
Well they are not an ordinary screw, the threads stop about 1/2 way down down the head so there is bare shaft that provides the stop.
The wire I tried just jammed the switch, maybe a larger size would work, but I am not fond of the idea of using glue in there...
Seems the switches have to be ordered with the stop screws or you don't get them?

Percy Audio will sell you some. I've used fully threaded M1 screws with no problem from McMaster.
