I don't recall, as soon as the TV died (2 weeks after purchase) I returned everything for a refund.

Depending on where you place the unit, you may need self-taping screws or bolts with locknuts. Also, the length of the screws/bolts will vary.

Nestor, Mine broke at the same location. I used a scrapper with a razor blade, just inserted it underthe existing base (gently) then pried the base off, leaving the black backing. Then put new one on.Seems to work pretty well.

I had a similar issue with the Komodo. If you contact the manufacturer at info@kabar.com and tell them the parts you require (in your case it is the screws for the clip and the scales) as well as your mailing address, they should send them free of charge. In a pinch, I was able to use laptop computer case screws to replace the clip screws, but those can often be harder to find. Ka-Bar sent me the screws, the clip, and a small tool designed for their screw heads in about a week, at no charge.

I am having the same problem! I have adjusted the screw and still no luck. I am at the point of getting rid of it and buying a new one. Very disappointing, especially considering how expensive they are. Wish I could be more help

The Texsun replacement antenna has a 1/8" spacing where the antenna connects to the "base" swivel. That's where the screw is. If you have that . . you're good to go. The antenna comes with the entire "base connector" too. That probably wont work. If you have 1/8" spacing where the antenna swivels . . . this should work great. de Russ KG0BK

There's nothing vital in the way. We took it apart and looked. They just didn't drill it as part of the manufacturing process. You can purchase the longer screw at most hardware stores or and electrical supply house.

Take the bolts and nuts to any ACE or True Value Hardware stores. The folks there should be able to find equivalent sizes (if not identical threading) to replace the stock hardware with longer versions. Go with stainless steel if you can find it -- the few bucks extra will be worth it once you see how quick regular steel hardware can rust (and forced to replace it over and over). Cheers and all the best, -Rob

Since the top is fairly thick wood, I guess you could drill a pilot hole for the screw and just screw it to the top. Since the unit is made of pressed wood with a very thin overlay, you must drill that pilot hole before trying to screw into it.

I AM unsure because I have not had to do so yet. Why not take it to your local hardware store (lowes, home depot, menards..etc) and see if they can tell you what screws you would need.

We currently offer T-nuts as a solution for the requirement of m10 bolts. The T-nuts are placed over the current screw holes and secured with three screws. This allows for our 5/16 bolts to be screwed on. I hope this helps, Luis

I had the same situation, but ordered anyway. They were slightly larger in width than the ones i was replacing but was able to make them work with slight modifications by drilling new holes for the screws. It works but i wish i had the correct size

I would contact either the manufacturer or the vendor. Usually they offer replacement kits for screws and other small parts. No experience with this particular item.

same prob - no screws included. otherwise, this is a great fan.Edit: i called customer service, and they were very pleasant and sent out the screws. So it is a bit of a hassle, but at least it can be resolved.Anyone know what the 2 screws are for? the set of 4 clearly go up through the bottom of the base and connect to the unit, but i don't see where the other pair goes.

It's a little difficult to answer without having it in my hands but from experience these things get worn to the point that they have gotten thinner and the screw is designed to only tighten just so far. You might have to replace the lock and/or the screw. Felco's are great in that you can buy the replacement parts in an individual package. I think there is one package with just the screw and the lock you need. I would replace both and you should be good to go. You can go on line or to the place you bought them from and find the parts. I think you'll be fine then.

I have several of these, but never had any problems. Have no idea on the size of the screws. SorryAce Hardware has a great selection on screws, perhaps they can help you.
