Anyone have a Triad HS66 handy?

Hi Guys,

I'm racking up a few Spectra Sonics cards for a friend and he has a bunch of HS66's, none of which have nuts! Since I live in a country that is metric, I have no idea what the nuts are in the imperial system. Can anyone tell me? I can order imperial nuts through RS, but not sure of what size to order!

Thanks in advance

Matt

that would be a #6-32,   

good to see you back in action Matt!  ;D

i like the nuts with the built in internal lock washer,

6-32 and 10-24 will get you through most US electronics troubles. Get a couple dozen of each.

Buy 1" screws; before you saw them down, run a couple nuts on. Saw, file, then run the nuts off to re-form the last thread. (There is a tool for this, but not worth the cost unless you also strip US wire gauges a lot.)

Hi CJ, thanks! Likewise, I've been enjoying your tube amp posts. My time is limited these days with two kids, being a Primary caregiver and putting my DIY skills into other areas like growing our food, cooking and running a house, yet still finding time to log and split trees, if nothing else it's a great release.

Since my eldest is now at a playschool 3 mornings a week it's giving me 10-12 hours that I'm putting into tech work.

Thanks PRR, as always a fount of knowledge, both you and CJ have been very kind in sharing your wealth of knowledge with me over the years, it's never expected, but always a appreciated. Thanks You.

Hey Pucho, thanks, that's most useful!

Cheers

Matt
